Along those lines I hear Android users say that Android and Samsung Pay work in places that Apple Pay doesn't and yet I've seen no evidence of any payment processors artificially blocking NFC-based payments from an Apple device. 

Samsung pay works with 99.9999% of places that accept credit cards, whether it's a small bookstore, flowershop, gas station, food truck, barber, etc... Samsung Pay reads off the magnetic strip. So yes, those Android users are absolutely correct.

100 % fact. I use to have the s8+, and that was one of the most useful features. I still have android, but don't use android pay. I used Samsung pay everywhere, as long as they had a magnetic strip reader, it will work. I always thought, why the hell do they not advertise and market samsung pay way more? It is industry leading in terms of pay with phone. Android pay and Apple pay don't even come close. Samsung pay, micro sd, headphone jack and the best screens in the biz may have me abonden my PIXEL 1 XL next UPGRADE. Pixel has become to Appleish, in terms of hardware choice.  My wife has a iPhone 7+ with only 32gb, and everyday has some micromanagement required just to take new pics or download an app since she is full.  With an SD slot, this would be the easiest fix ever and nowadays is extremely inexpensive. Everyone touts how simple iphones are because they are use to them, I've tried the switch with my wife and it was not a pleasant 10 days for me. Easy is what you are comfortable with. Iphones have some features that are harder to use than Android and vice versa, but it is intensified by what platform you have mainly used. I feel android at least provides more choice and this sometimes is too much for people. My analogy is Apple is the parent and tell you how you can treat their kid (iPhone) because they know what is safest whereas, for a Android, you are the parent and can do as you please with your child (android phone), but that means you can screw it up big time if you don't know what your doing. Both have great phones and anyone who says otherwise is just overly biased. I'm done now.
