I have a work macbook. I have a personal XPS. I have an Android phone (because I can flash my own roms).

The chargers that ship with modern devices tend to be USB-C to USB-C (including Apple's own macbook charger).

I have absolutely no desire to fit a lightning cable into my life, and I'm hardly the only person I know who has a macbook and an android phone (about half of my company of 300 falls into the exact same bucket).

I don't typically buy Apple devices because I think they're oppressively locked down, but that's not really something I care that much about for headphones.

Plus, given the whole market for decent bluetooth headphones is ridiculously price inflated anyways, Apple's price here doesn't dissuade me nearly as much as normal.

Basically - I would absolutely consider picking up a Max, but lightning is a serious knock against the product.

The promo for this headset outright state that significant functionality require an iPhone or iPad (you know, oppressively locked down and all). It is over double the price of comparable headsets.

No, there was no chance you were ever buying this headset. You may see it as legitimizing your grievances, but I don't think any reasonable person actually buys that.

You, 20 days ago, regarding Apple - "Don't buy their shit. Period."

Of the actual people who would buy this, I'd wager that 99%+ have iPhones. Being able to charge the headset with the same cable you use to charge your phone seems pretty obvious.
