For "not getting it right" android os is dominating the market and continues to grow more dominant in the smartphone and tablet every quarter.
Yes there are things that can be improved, but then again name anything that can't use some improvement.
Also your comments on the things the iphone has right?
Android has those features as well...
You're comparing the iPhone to dozens of different android phones.
It's alot easier to pack all the goodies into a phone....when it's the only one a company produces.

Not to mention that's part of the appeal of android. Choice. You don't have to buy a top of the line device to still get a very capable smartphone. If you want ios you have one choice, the iphone. Not everyone wants or can spend the money for a flagship phone. Hence there are countless different android smartphone options. From the budget phone to the top tier devices.
