No it's a perfectly valid comparison. it's like saying cars made in Detroit fail more often than cars made by BMW. Android is widely considered as a low-quality OS running on low-quality hardware. Android's strength (ubiquity) is also its weakness (it runs on crap hardware).

Android is software, not hardware. This post is complaining about hardware, but somehow blaming software instead.

Android is not just software, it's a platform. If the hardware is low-quality, that's still an Android issue.
