Went to check again as it's been so long since I altered the setting. I remember at the time when I changed it to Android, I immediately kept it that way and it feeling better. This time around I still feel like Apple mode on my device feels a little odd, but the feeling was less stark that it was a bit over a year ago. Regardless, after testing I am still in the camp of Android default for Android devices. Unfortunately as far as reasoning goes, it just seems to be a bunch of minor UI stuff which bubbles under the surface and is difficult to really put into words. The most prominent thing to me consciously is the typeface and the cards at the bottom changing in a way which I am less fond of than the Android setting, but I'm sure it's more than just that.
I also think novice users will likely prefer an app scheme more consistent with their device of choice, even if it is less polished at the moment. I don't believe the current state is particularly clunky, especially to the point where it would offput new users trying to do basic navigation, or exploring Lemmy in general.
