Re: Give and Take
"Apple are still way better than Google in that department. Your Android might get one or two updates if you are lucky"
Nope, Android and iPhone are serviced totally differently, and Google are light years ahead of the system image model that Apple uses, where you load a system image, and all your apple apps get updated in the process.
In Google's world, this would never have happened. Duo, Allo and Hangouts all ship with the phone (or call be installed if not), and are updated REGARDLESS of how old your Android device is. Hangouts works all the way back to Android 2.2
Perhaps actually look at a premium Android device before deciding what Apple told you was the truth
