Of course it's both ways.

The difference is what it's about here. On Android, you have a huge variety of alternatives. You don't have them at Apple. It's even worse: they are making it hard for you to chose alternatives. Often it doesn't even make sense, since software and hardware are made just for each other.

The lock-in factor is much smaller on Android.

PS. I was that guy. Had to switch to Apple at work. It was a pain. Not only for me, which is why they switched back after the person who decided it got fired (for different reasons). We've lost a lot of money that year.
