I think a detached and distanced perspective must come to the conclusion that vendor lock-in isn't healthy. For security, performance or flexibility it tends to fall short sooner or later.

One could also talk about the relevance of a speculative attack that hasn't been abused for years. There can be multiple reasons for that, but we shouldn't just ignore the main design motivation of Apple here. That would be frivolous and that excludes serious security discussions.
