That's a faulty generalisation. I am a "consumer" and I'm bothered by it.

There are definitely consumers who care. There are a lot of them here on hacker news.

But that number doesn't seem to be high enough to cause serious sales dips on iOS devices.

I'm not saying the number is 100% of consumers don't care. But it's also pretty clear it's not 70% who do care.

So, if you know that, don't say "Consumers don't appear to be bothered by any of those missing freedoms."

Say something like "Apple is still successful despite the lack of freedom" :)
