There are almost no quad-carrier, smaller screen, mid-range or high-end 
Android phones available anymore, so the Moto X fills a niche. What's 
also nice is that they do full Android upgrades, they pushed out Oreo a 
while back. There are a few smaller GSM/LTE models but they tend to be 
very low end. Not everyone wants a phablet. My wife could have chosen an 
iPhone Plus, instead of a non-Plus, from work, but didn't want a larger 
phone.

It will be interesting to see what the next iPhone generation has in 
terms of screen sizes. They are predicted to introduce a 5.8", 6.1", and 
6.5" model, but whether or not their is a smaller one, similar to the 
current non-plus models, remains to be seen. You may have to go down to 
an SE to get a smaller screen. They could do a bezel-less 5.2" to 5.3" 
in the same form factor as the current iPhone non-plus.

Counting cores is meaningless, You need to look at actual 
performance.The Stylo 3 Plus has a dismal Geekbench multicore result of 
2578, the iPhone 8 is at 10178. That said, I've never found the Stylo 3 
Plus to lag, but I don't play games that would use a lot of CPU power. I 
also don't have full-encryption turned on, which is a big CPU drain.

Unlikely. If you look at the iPhone 8 design, the power section has been 
significantly upgraded from the iPhone 7/6s/6, with the addition of 
third PMIC 
<http://techinsights.com/about-techinsights/overview/blog/apple-iphone-8-teardown/#06>

The root cause of the throttling was not an aged battery, but a new 
battery did mitigate the issue. When doing power management design you 
need to account for the reduced capacity of Li-Ion batteries as they age 
and ensure that your power solution can deliver sufficient current even 
from an older battery.
