Since iOS12 you can do this by holding the spacebar on devices without 3D touch
On devices with 3D Touch you can also press harder to activate text selection, which is something I use daily.

100% agree. I stopped reading when I saw that. What exactly is "Windows autism" exactly? My autistic son would like to know... And I would encourage you not to say it in private contexts with friends either.

That isn't Apple's fault though. As much as I'm not a fan of their products, there is very little you can do to help users when they (by proxy in this case) ignore or avoid your attempts to help them. Making the option easier to find after on-boarding might help, but for the users you describe it would need to be very easy to access and you will fill any list of quick-access options very quickly if you include things…
You can make the onboarding so simple they don't need help?

If its important enough to put in on boarding, its important to have it handily available through easy to access means during regular use.
You can put it in control center and have it be about as easily adjustable as brightness. It‘s not there by default and hard to discover, but adjusting your text size all the time really is a bit of a niche feature. I‘m really not sure what else Apple could do other than: - Asking during onboarding - Putting it in Display as well as Accessibility settings - Having a control center button
I use Android for everything mobile. (nix based). MacOS for everything else.(nix based) Whatever is nix based works ;) Questions?
Hmm. This is a reflection of the author's bias towards not having the features he likes on the Iphone be more in your face, and the features he finds annoying are labelled as useless.
The two factor ID, is there as a CYA for Apple, so they won't have to deal with the fallout of their users' accounts being compromised. Those are the types of features prioritized and forced. The same goes for touch ID, in addition to it making new purchases a seamless and more effortless process, it also helps deal with chargebacks and the like. When I use touch ID to call a Lyft, I have esseentially 'signed' the CC receipt of that transaction.
The other features he finds annoying, may be annoying to many people, but those are key features that most people would otherwise not turn on, and as a result have a poor experience with wifi. the list goes on.

1. Open Mail 2. Click compose button How could that possibly be difficult of all things?
I've never been able to understand why mail apps insist on the word Compose. Is it an American thing? I've never wanted to compose a piece of text, and never heard the word used in that way.
TL;DR - Compose is the correct word to use.

I'm not about to try it right now (don't want to mess up my contacts) but I'm pretty sure you can just tell Siri that "suchandsuch is my wife" and she'll update the relevant Contact cards for you.
Right there you highlighted the biggest issue most people have. They're scared to touch or change anything in case they mess something up. All devices need a universal undo so you can change something and easily undo if you get it wrong or you just preferred the old setting. For security you could prompt after a while to make the new settings permanent and delete the snapshot.
