Then don’t buy an Apple device?

Apple for over 40 years has sold integrated software and hardware and for over 20 has sold hardware + integrated online services (iPod+ iTunes) and now you are shocked that when you buy an Apple device you also buy into their ecosystem?

Most Android apps are also dependent on Google services and a Google account.
