They are acting immorally by restricting what users can do with devices they own. They are using their market power to coerce users into using their services.

The rules were made by representatives voluntarily elected by the people and are an expression of their free will.

It is not immoral. They are open and upfront before you buy the device. I personally buy an iPhone because of the walls.

Keep in mind a village/castle with protective walls is not a prison.

It's not a prison until they take your freedom.

I'm sure Richard the Lionheart would've disagreed with you while locked up in Dürnstein castle.

The walls are only good if you're the one who controls access.

Take your freedom? Is someone now forcing you to buy an iPhone, like you want to force Apple to make a product?

[malermeister]

The freedom is taken after the phone is bought, not before.
