It is true, please provide evidence otherwise. Do you know that the 'safety feature' phones home every single app you use clear as daylight on any network you're on? Your ISP can log what you're using, what time, where from. Apple is supposedly big on privacy, yet this was handled by many engineers who thought it was OK to do. That's called hypocrisy. You should be calling out Apple too.

"Apples platform is based on curation" yep, here it is. That's the iphone developer Mantra. Except were talking macos. What you're saying is nobody can create and run applications without apples signature. That apple gets to control it all.

Whatever happened to developer freedom? The ability to create and share? That disrespect software development, that disrespects it's origins, and instead of seeing how hypocritical that is you create excuses for the company that chokes the life out of it.

These are terrible apologies for the world's richest company. You advocate against yourself by thinking "it's apples way or it's the highway". You willingly give up consumer control and make logical fallacies to ignore having to address the cognitive dissonance.

This is why right to repair is being chosen by voters. If you won't be a responsible consumer then the others who have work to do have no choice but to force apples hand.
