Conversely, it is impossible to purchase books from Apple using a browser. That’s not the case for other ecosystems.
I am curious how the Series experience differs across ecosystems.

The series experience on Kobo is much nicer then that of the Kindle. You can even use the series feature on Kobo with side loaded eBooks using Calibre. You cannot do so with side loaded eBooks on a Kindle. Amazon has locked up the database nice and tight. Also, Kobo has collections that can be managed from Calibre as well as multiple ways to sort.
All of this can be done without the need to jailbreak or patch. It's all available with the stock firmware.
