The second biggest reason (after freedom to install apps) why I don't use an iphone is: for the love of God I can't use the gesture to switch windows. It used to be simple swipe up from bottom. Now you have to do an arc or something from the corner. I can never get it right.
You can swipe up from the bottom, just as you described. That brings up the app switcher.
Or you swipe along the bottom in a straight line (no arc, no corner) to go directly between apps rather than choosing which one. Good for rapid switching.
I’m 90% sure it’s the exact same for Android. I switch every year or two and the most recent was in August I think.
