>I wish there would be more distinction between hardware and software. Just buy an iPhone and install Winedows 10 or buy a S7 and install Sailfish.

That would be the antithesis of what makes the iPhone good though -- the hardware/software limited fragmentation + lock-step iterations.

But why not have the freedom to use iOS on the iPhone because you think it works best that way?

A lot of people install Ubuntu on Macbooks for that reason. But right now it's very hard to install a different OS on your phone.

Do you mean MacBook Air or older MacBook Pro? Ubuntu or other Linux does not work on MacBook. There is no driver for track pad and keyboard.
