Yes and no. At no point did Apple sell me on the idea that I'd have an open computer in my pocket. In fact, they aggressively sell me on the opposite, and make it clear that they act as gate-keepers to what apps can and can't be in my pocket. Totally legitimate to take issue with that, but I think there's a marked difference between doing that and Robinhood arbitrarily preventing folks from doing these trades.

Should have clarified:

Apple Inc sells me on a closed up device, which is fine.

Some Apple loyalists explain to me that I don't know what I want and that Apple Inc's ideology is the one true way.

Personally I have both an iPhone and an Android. Locked-down personal device and a customizable dev phone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
