Meanwhile the main reason I stay with Android is because of the ability to sideload, write your own apps, etc. without paying a subscription fee.

Frankly, that's what the money's for.

The furthest I've ever seen it go in practice: binary search, BFS/DFS, hash tables. I've never seen any more obscure algorithmic trick than standard uses of these algorithms and data structures.

At making money, likely true. Leaving a trail of destruction in your wake is just not my idea of success.
