The biggest issue of Windows Phone was that it was even more closed than iOS, thus forcing you to use Microsoft's tooling for developing software. Yes, Android also have similar issues, and the fact that a shitty browsers are being used to run GUI apps is an insult to life itself, but still not as bad as forcing you to rewrite your app in C#, then use Mono to make it run on both Android and iOS. At least on Android, you can write a loader in Java to run your AArch binaries, and at least ALSA will be available for you alongside some other POSIX standards.
