Pure personal preference. I've traditionally gone back and forth almost every time I get a new phone. It's really only in the last 2-3 years I've hit the point I significantly prefer android.
For me, some of the interface choices on iOS are no Bueno. Additionally, the lack of a button, or simulated button is not something I'm fond of.
I'm also not convinced they are more private. I think Apple's incentives line up more with mine than Google's, but only barely. Independent researchers are pretty mixed on whether Apple is actually blocking all apps, or just making it so Apple is the only one who can profit off of people's data.
The only reason I think they are probably more private is the giant hissy fit Facebook threw over their settings.
