What you want is not relevant, because you have no choice.

Apple depriving you of that choice may not inconvenience you, but you are still being deprived of that freedom in the first place. I suspect 100% of iPhone users are in the same boat.

You got this backwards. I chose Apple because of the choices they made and it suited me.

Electing a dictator because you like their policies does not change the fact that you end up in a dictatorship.

Likewise, having voted for a corporation that takes away freedoms does not make your opinion relevant: you are still not the one in control, and neither is anyone else who bought in.
