Android competes very healthily with Apple in the EU!
Android is at nearly 70% OS market share: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/europe/

The statement doesn't make sense because people don't keep 2 phones in their pocket, or 2 smart watches, and rarely have 2 tablets that are actively used. And people definitely move between ecosystems. Choosing one excludes the other, and they have equivalents for each product type.
Hence they are direct competitors.

The real problem is that the mobile OS & app store market is a stable duopoly.
