Having sane, common sense defaults is pretty much exactly Apples business.

The path you propose inevitably leads to the exact enshittification we’re trying to avoid.

But it's optional enshittification. I should have the option of messing up my device. Apple are free to scare me away from doing so, but the choice needs to be mine as the owner.

Then buy an android if android is what you want.

Stop trying to turn the system WE want into what WE don't. WE don't want android or else we would already be using it.

As soon as you fracture the ecosystem the positive network effects start to fade.

How do I get iMessage on android? If you want the locked down system just dont install 3rd party app stores.
