It can be looked at from a different angle: Apple always had a more restricted ecosystem (even now, when arguably it's at peak popularity), driven by a "our way or the highway" mentality that helps keep the experience within a happy path while forcing other needs outside of the platform.

It's not a ding against Apple, if you're running a select shop people expect a curated experience, but you can't look at it the same way as a home center or hardware shop.
