I have never needed to repair an Apple device, because they work well for the duration of their lifetime in my experience. When I have occasionally needed repairs, Apple does a fine job of servicing my product for a reasonable price. I can install every piece of software that I want on my Mac, and every business/startup I've worked at has used Macs as the default hardware so I'm not so sure about your "they prevent you from running your business unfettered" claim either.

tl;dr - the stuff you're worried about is probably moot to the average consumer, which is why Apple continues to make sales.

That's a very poor argument, it is easy to sell something toxic to the average consumer.

This applies to all areas where product is complex, banks can literally ruin their life with one financial product.

Known loansharks and drug dealers never have shortage of customers, they neber seem to learn.
