It more like I bought into the peer pressure of getting Apple devices so I started looking past their unethical practices. The apps they ban weren't really the type of apps I'd use. What I'm concerned is that Apple one day just start banning ad-blockers, maybe ban VLC and cite piracy as a justification, banning encryption apps like signal, or banning VPNs (which they did in China, but I don't live there so I kinda ignored it). They hadn't done any of that yet so I just didn't think too much about it, but now I kinda randomly started thinking about it and I switched to Android.

They have the operating system so locked down there aren’t any ad blockers anyways unless you use Safari

Brave on iOS works fine last I used, which was yesterday.

I was actually mistaken, and it’s worse than I realized. You can’t use ad guard in Safari anymore: https://www.zdnet.com/article/apple-neutered-ad-blockers-in-safari-but-unlike-chrome-users-didnt-say-a-thing/
