It's funny you mentioned this. When I was on iOS, I was never satisfied with the icons (or the UI in general). I always wanted to customize it. The stock colors/design just left me wanted for more. It's an unconscious feeling; there is no concrete thing to pin point and say that the UI is bad.

What's strange is that, since I switched to Android a couple years back, I no longer had the urge to change the icons or customizing the UI. There is something about the design that makes it feel "okay". You don't feel like you're fighting the phone or being left wanted for more.

I just picked up an iphone from family to check it out, and instantly feel the need to customize it. For all the UX experts, is there a theory/phenomenal for this that I can read more?
