Lack of customization, lack of a usable command line (or at least, lack of access to one unless you're root/jailbreak), half-assed SSH access post-root or post-jailbreak, even though iOS is based off macOS which is a FreeBSD derivitive and Android is using a Linux kernel (though lacks the entire GNU portion), no decentralized package manager (F-Droid is technically one, but it doesn't come by default unless you're using a custom ROM), and so on.
So technically, a degoogled Android comes closest to a full blown PC out of iOS vs Google Android vs Android AOSP.
And for those of you who say "wouldn't that mean that you don't consider Windows and macOS to be full blown PCs?", my answer to that is "yup".
If there's 1 person or company that can remotely or automatically update your computer, take away apps or features or keep those hostage until you update (like Google apps from old Android versions or Windows 10 deleting random apps and even personal files during update), then you don't own that device, you just have permission to use it, and therefore it shouldn't be considered a full blown >>PERSONAL<< computer.
