I guess I just like my tech stack to be as open and unrestrictive as possible. The argument that Apple provides more safeguards is a bit flimsy in my opinion. I honestly don't know what people think Apple is protecting them from, especially when Apple's own features have led to people being stalked (air tags). Also, most iPhone users that I know tend to have bought their iPhone for cosmetic/style related reasons, or the camera. They don't seem to be all that privacy conscious, especially when their phone is loaded up with every social media app on the planet, including Tiktok! |

Note that this is another area where you have this user vs. developer trade off.
- GPL or other copyleft licenses will put the user's rights above the developer's.
- MIT or BSD-style licenses will favor the developer rights above the end user's.
"open and unrestrictive as possible" is all relative depending on whether you are a user or a developer.

My point is that this is a market where people value different things. I value the safeguards Apple is putting in. I find they do a better job at it than their competition. But I fully understand that other people do not think so, or that they value other things more.
What I don't particularly like is some of these people turning to the State to force Apple to do things differently.
