>It’s all announced and advertised in advance, if you don’t like the way the products are advertised to work, don’t buy the products and don’t complain the products work the way they are advertised to work.

If we followed that logic, the only people who don't have a right to complain would be their paying customers.

>Registering the device to the owner is the responsibility of the owner.

Why is it entirely on the owner? If apple designs the majority of their advertised security apparatus around the concept of device ownership then I'd argue that they do in fact share some responsibility in making sure their devices are properly registered before use.

If you follow that logic the rest of the complaining, which is just your complaining, is just irrelevant whining.

And if Apple is responsible for noting who owns the devices next up you will come whining about how that mean Apple doesn’t allow you to sell your devices without informing them.

Whine whine whine from a non paying customer. You don’t like the products, you’re supposedly not going to buy them. What are you whining about, that a product exists that you don’t like? Nobody cares.

What? Could you please elaborate what you mean here? I do not see how this addresses my comment at all...

I don't remember complaining about that, please don't put words in my mouth. All I said was that a company which places device ownership as the center of their security model shares some responsibility in ensuring their devices get registered before use.

I'm not the original poster, I never said I didn't like the product, (I'm actively using one to respond to you right now) please stop assuming where I stand on the product. It is perfectly possible for me to like a product as a whole while simultaneously disliking certain aspects.
