There are plenty of Samsung users who like Bixby just fine, although there are definitely those who prefer Google Assistant. Samsung also makes phones in all price ranges, so I'm not sure what you mean by ridiculous prices, especially since Apple also sells high end phones with a healthy price tag. Unlike some blind people who think everyone should use the same device they do, I'm glad we have choices, and I've used both Android and Apple, and I'm glad I have options.
