Isn't this basically what school is for children?

I don't think it's crazy that people might have a range of preferences for how "locked down" a device or ecosystem is. One end of the spectrum might be Linux phones and the other might be those Jitterbug (?) phones for old people that can only dial a few preset numbers. Android would be more towards Linux and Apple more towards Jitterbug.

But I do think Apple should be more transparent with their users, and has generally been "maliciously complying" with these regulations.
