Because Apple is not selling an "OS", it's selling an iPhone. Their users are using "apps" and not "programs".

Couldn't it be also because of bots/paid-humans writing the same kind of comments and liking them to make them bubble to the top?

Right, but I assure you most of them do not consider themselves "white" by any stretch of the imagination. The term "white" has deviated so much from Caucasian/fair-skinned and became a mostly political term in the US that most Arabs specially 1st and 2nd generation would never identify with.

Yup, and then there's roughly the 300 million Arabs who live in North Africa who aren't covered by any of these.

Sorry, I confused that with the race section, which also is confusing (it only has Hispanic/Non-Hispanic options).

Yup, but still it doesn't cover many millions of US citizens. e.g Sikh, Middle Eastern, African Africans etc (not that there can ever be a list that covers such a diverse country).

On the 4473 form for background check in the US, the valid races are "White, African American, Asian, Hispanic". No other options, and no option to not specify. The fun part is, you can select ALL of them, not just one, and MANY people do just that.

Exactly. That's why having an under glass fingerprint sensor is such a good idea.

I use Pixel 4, and I absolutely hate not having a fingerprint sensor.

Cons:

* At night it doesn't work, because I am laying on the bed and half my face is covered.

* It doesn't work when I am not wearing my glasses. Annoying when I have just woken up or going to bed and want to check a quick notification.

* Sometimes it unlocks by itself even if I don't want it to.

For the headphone jack, I got a cheap USB-C ones and couldn't be happier. Bluetooth just doesn't work all the time. It sometimes refuses to pair for random reasons, specially if you paired it with something else, you can never be sure its charged enough, easy to forget it turned on and have the batteries depleted etc etc.
