Under-screen touch ID is work/tech in progress. When it reaches to perfection of current touch id; Apple will adopt.

My brother-in-law has a Samsung Galaxy S10 with built in touch-ID and it’s reliable and fast. 

yeah, it's flawless:

1. I have it on my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and it works great; more accurate than the rear fingerprint scanner on my Galaxy S8+. Credible sources state that the version on the Galaxy S21 is even better.
2. New features that are "Apple first" don't always work flawlessly out of the gate. They also don't always succeed! Instead it is the features that have become popular and refined from years of use on hundreds of millions of Android devices first that are more likely to be very popular and well implemented initially on Apple products.
3. Despite everyone claiming "Apple did it right" or "waited until it was ready", Apple features that are adopted after having been in use on Android devices for years don't work any better (5G, NFC, widgets, stylus support, OLED screens, phablet form factors, set top boxes with app stores) and at times are even behind the Android implementation and need years to catch up. Case in point: HomePod.

Apple is still with the waterfall SDLC while Google relies on agile. That means the latter comes out with more products faster, but at the cost of having a lot more products be half-baked and ultimately fail. Samsung for their part is SDLC like Apple, but unlike Apple they do their own manufacturing and are a leader in components and the basic engineering/physics behind them. So a lot of features are going to be in Samsung phones first merely because Samsung themselves invented the components for those features. 

It is no big deal: it just means that Apple's strengths are in other areas. But Google and Samsung have their own strengths and you should just go ahead and admit that Apple copies and benefits from those strengths on a regular basis. I myself prefer benefiting from new tech early instead of waiting 3-4  years until Apple is able to polish it nice and shiny. That is why I obtained my first phablet years before Apple introduced one - and years more before Apple's phablets actually had OS functionality to make it more than merely the same phone with a bigger screen - and on that phone was using Google Wallet years before Apple introduced Apple Pay, and why in a few months I am going to trade in my Galaxy Note 20 for a Galaxy Fold 3 (again at least a couple of years before Apple gets around to it).

"Early Samsung earbuds were more platform-agnostic with the Galaxy Buds working just as good on iOS as Android. This time around though, the Galaxy Buds Pro performs far better on Android than on iOS.”

Then why even present them as an option to Apple users? 

"If you're an iPhone user, and you probably are if you're reading this, it makes much less sense to pick the Galaxy Buds Pro over the AirPods Pro. If you have an iPhone, the AirPods Pro is clearly a superior choice -- and if you have a Galaxy handset, the Galaxy Buds Pro makes much more sense because of that Samsung-specific integration.”

So AI is now officially catering to Samsung users? This article is complete bullshit.
