Personally I just didn’t feel like taking on that learning curve lol. If you want more control, looping is the way to go though.
I came from t-slim, and the feelings are split on which one is better as far as a regulated automated systems go. I’ve never looped, but I’ve found the omnipod 5 to be simple to navigate and very helpful. Last time this question was asked in the AAPS Facebook group, the consensus seemed to be it would be pretty pointless. I'm not aware of any work being done to bring AAPS to O5. There are pros and cons to both systems, but personally, I'm really happy with Dash and AAPS, so I'll stick with it as long as I can. Granted, you aren't going to be able to bolus without a device, but if you wanted to go for a run or a walk or something, O5 can manage all the insulin delivery for you to keep you in range without having to carry an extra device.
One benefit of O5 over AAPS though is that the algorithm is on the pump itself, so there are situations where you don't need to carry your phone or PDM with you.

AAPS on the other hand just needs any phone running Android 9 or higher. There's also the consideration that not a lot of phones are compatible with O5 and there are a few reports of connection problems with phones that supposedly are compatible. If you look at the Tandem or the Medtronic closed looks systems as a comparison, they are much more restrictive on the management of T1 than AAPS is. Those restrictions might be a higher minimum target BG to achieve, whereas AAPS can essentially go as low as you want, or a limitation on the number of boluses you can give over a set time period. Can't say I've used O5, but as a commercial system which goes through all kinds of tests and checks before certification, it is going to be much more restricted than a DIY system like AAPS.
