I have to give huge props to Apple for not shoving ads for these features down my throat. I have an iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods, a personal MBP (which I rarely use because it’s old), and a 2019 MBP for work. I don’t recall ever seeing a pop up prompting me to use these things, and if I did, it must have only happened once and I just mindlessly disabled it. I had not even heard of Apple One premier until now.

I have a windows desktop for gaming and Microsoft seems to constantly try to push their bullshit. Whether it’s opening edge at start/changing my default browser, making me use the Microsoft Store or Microsoft accounts (they do this for Minecraft now, and the install experience through downloading minecraft from the web is now hilariously broken), or even shilling something at the log in screen, Microsoft just does not give a fuck about making their UX seem cheap to push their bloat.
