The signal has to drop below -70dbm for ios and -75 dbm for macos for the devices to consider roaming. Additionally, the difference between the two AP has to be 8db for ios and 12 db for macos.

IMHO, these are good defaults. Apple devices are optimizing for stability over the “best” possible signal.
What you might consider awful signal difference between the two APs might not be. (e.g. a mac device at -75dbm need to find another AP with -63dbm or better.)
Most of the companies that are complaining fall into two categories: # Small companies who did not exist before iPhone and / or will not thrive if an open platform like AppStore goes away # Large companies with their own agenda to push their own platforms (almost always worse for consumer from privacy platforms)
I have no issue with big companies like Google, Spotify, Epic battling Apple but how suddenly so many common users have become open critics of Apple when they have dog in the fight is a victory of PR of those companies.
You can also modify your frame size: Unifi Devices - Gateway - Settings - MSS Clamping.
In my view , unifi gives you all the power and very good defaults at a very reasonable price. Their nearest competitors (eero on consumer side and ruckus / Aruba on business side) have less features and more price.
