You might have a point in that iOS is consistently unusable. An OS that uses secret gestures and other secret, vague methods of performing actions just does not lead to something you can actually use.
Yes, UIs on Android from different vendors look different, but at least you can figure out how to accomplish when you want to do. Also, this is true of every other OS that isn't locked to hardware from 1 manufacturer such as Linux (which can be used with a myriad of "desktop" interfaces) and even Windows and OS/X to some degree (which can be "extended" with 3rd party applications).
I use both iOS and Android -- Google seems to have been morphing Android closer and closer to an iOS clone for several years now. All of those things you mention in Google material design make Android look more like iOS.
It's not just you. I also have the same issues attempting to figure out how to do stuff using iOS even though I have never had issues with Android, Windows (any version), linux, KDE, Gnome, DOS, Solaris, VMS, CMS, TSO, DOS, etc..
Although, I didn't like MacOS or OS/X either, mainly because of single button mice and really expensive hardware that I can't build myself.
Most iOS operation can only be perform using secret gestures or touching the secret location on the screen in some exact way. Of course, these secret things are not documented anywhere so if you don't know what they are you are just SOL.
It's also very ugly and the most intuitive interface I have ever seen in the last 40 years. It was a lot easier to figure out how to do thing using Windows, DOS (PC and Mainframe), unix or just about any other non apple OS than is it with iOS!
Its really the proliferation of the horrid iPhone UI. iOS has a horrid User Interface that is really difficult to use and everyone seems to be very quick to copy the least usable portions of it:/
you CANNOT do a general bank-transfer to another person/company in the US - the exception being that some banks (like Chase) allow for bank transfers to other Chase customers.
This assertion is not true. A very large number of people (including myself and most of the employees at my wife's restaurant) are paid by direct deposit into their back accounts. I also use external transfers from my credit union to transfer money to my son's bank account and that of my wife's restaurant.
While this particular case is about Indian Call Centers, this kind of thins is very widespread and not limited to just Indians. It has also been going on for a very long time -- centuries (though obviously they only started using phones about 100 years ago and emails & the internet a couple decades ago)
quid is definitely not teenie language, the term has been around for a **very** long time, several hundred years.
It refers to english currency, 1 pound sterling to be exact.
Why shouldn't they market stuff to audiophile nutjobs than way more money than brains? That's clearly who this is marketed towards with it's gold plated 100% oxygen-free copper body and the kimber kable leads for the headphones!
That is not a valid argument. You should always use only space, or have spaces expanded to tabs, because a space is always a space. A tab might be 4 spaces or 3 spaces or 2 spaces or default to 8 spaces (or columns every 2,3,4,8,etc columns) depending on the settings of the editor. If there are multiple people working on the same set of files with different settings for tabs, it rapidly becomes an incomprehensible mess.

Well, I just said it and there are many people that agree!

I heard they are black...
No, font sizes are 50% smaller than they should be. Nobody can read 2 point fonts!

Because it's theoretical and not real (other than a proof of concept installed on the researcher's own computer)...
Don't plug any speakers (or a microphone) into your computer. If you have a laptop with built-in speakers and/or mic, turn them off.

There is no need to pardon anyone that has not been charged with anything.
It's not the 8 weeks, not 4 weeks, to the election that matters, it's the 18 weeks until the next president is inaugurated that matters.
Actually, he is still alive in Russia!
Why can't we downvote or flag the topic?
100% of Trump supporters claim Hillary is unfit for President!
Why shouldn't they market stuff to audiophile nutjobs than way more money than brains? That's clearly who this is marketed towards with it's gold plated 100% oxygen-free copper body and the kimber kable leads for the headphones!
and yet it has been Trump, and the right, that have been claiming that the next election will be rigged!
*always* the following line!

Only the masochistic would use tabs in python...
