>Its marketing jargon that promotes anti-consumer behavior

If consumers choose to stay in it, then that's their choice, no? I see it just as much as a scathing commentary as it is a flowery euphemism. No different from "golden handcuffs".

Regardless, I'm not too interested in going into a rabbit hole of word games. If "closed off software ecosystem storing 3rd party products you purchased" is a preferable terminology, feel free to substitute that phrase in.

>while promoting ideas of delicious fruits and beautiful flowers.

Sounds like a good things to promote.
