I don't disagree, Apple's brand was built before the current shenanigans were even possible. "Think different", am I right? I'm just saying that the previous investment in brand-building can now be leveraged into defending the indefensible.

Yep, exactly. IAP and advertisements in settings is the opposite of "Think different".

Apple Music and Apple TV+, sure.

But the 30% from Spotify and Netfix, and other shenanigans... not so much :/
