And, in reference to Apple, when you not only control the entire hardware, but also write the OS and set the app design rules, you can mate your CPU design and software design better than others.

I disagree here. The OS never is an issue since that uses multithreading when sensible to increase speed. The app developers can't be forced to write efficient software and they hardly ever do. I highly doubt there is any difference in the percentage of multithreading used in iOS apps compared to Android apps. Writing correct multithreaded software is hard to do and in most cases, the effort is better spent in optimizing the single threaded code instead (which many developers actually do a lousy job with).
