I would disagree with all the "you knew that Apple does this bad X,Y,W and Z before you bought the device". I am not an iOS user and for example I bought an Android Phone for my son and I had the surprise that it did not had Google Play on it and I could not install it (some Google shit was required for school).

The issue is that on the sell page or the produc box there is not a list like

1 this device does not support Google Pay or for Apple

WARNING , before you biu you MUST acknowledge

1 you can only use Safari with skins

2 you can't use apps we think are too mature, or too siple, or might use compete with us, or apps we just don't like

3 if you are in China we will send your data straight tot eh goverment

4 you will not be able to developer or install any app for your device unless we review and anyone your account.

5 apps that are on our store today might be removed tomorrow , or blocked to send you updates

6 ad blockers are more crippled then on other devices,

7 messaging with your Andoid friends will be crippled

8 we will scan your photos for bad images and report you to the police ------

100 ....

So it is FALSE that ALL users know ALL the downsides and ALL future downsides when buying a device.

If I am wrong and you can see this on the online electronic shops or real world shops I would like to see this , I never seen this warnings so far.
