This is not really related to Orion, but is anyone else annoyed by the fact that Apple restricts Sidecar to only work if both devices are signed into the same Apple ID? This is on top of the insult of making it ridiculously complicated to switch Apple ID's on an iOS device (fast user switching anyone?).

They could just have an AirPlay server as part of every iPad and make a lot of this possible without dongles and cables. Bonus points for making Airplay an open standard so we don't all stand around for the next 20 years figuring out which subset of devices can stream to which subset of displays ("It just works?").

Sorry for the rant, I'm just annoyed by all of the dark-ish patterns around iOS devices that seem to be trying to drive multiple units rather than sharing of fewer units.

Given the amount of ad hoc surveillance in modern Apple OSes, I too find this irritating, as on desktop I refuse to allow my computer to connect to Apple for anything other than OS updates.

Same goes for using your Mac’s display on an AVP. I use third party software to do it instead.
