i quite agree with this. I don't remember a single os release that didn't have some kind of embarassing bug. Yet there are a few differences :
1/ ios used to be new and evolved a lot. So having mistakes were understandable. iOS11 new feature is the larger navigationbar and some drag n drop. Compare that to adding autolayout (iOS 7) or ARC (iOS4).
2/ very shortly after the release, apple would quickly update the os and after just a few months the os started to work a lot better with few if any noticeable issue. iOS 11 is close to a year old and hasn't improved by any noticeable margin.
3/ iOS lag was expected because new feature would consume more cpu. User interfaces became more complexe (few people remember the time when the official UIKit guideline said that one screen should have only one view controller). Hardware was still a bit short, and they came with brand new interactions , fancy animations and twice the image resolution. But now that the hardware is pretty much as powerful as a regular laptop,and the UI has basically stayed the same, having a new OS version making your phone lag becomes unacceptable.
