What are the chances some company offers to "save" them with a security service which coincidentally will also require users to use the latest officially-sanctioned browsers, OSes, and "trusted" hardware to pass the "security check"...

If you're referring to Cloudflare, the "security check" is not a default setting. For some reason administrators love to use Under attack mode as a band-aid measure to reduce load on the host.
Or they'll (the site operators using Cloudflare proxy) make ill considered firewall rules like "If not Chrome, require security check".
What's your point? You can configure this in Nginx too
Nginx has a built in recaptcha page based on rules? News to me.

Even if it does, the point of Cloudflare's WAF is to avoid the traffic touching the origin if the security check doesn't succeed, so any nginx solution isn't really providing the same value.

At least Apple devices are actually secure and can't really be omitted from things other than gaming and business. Granted, gaming and business are pretty important.
You mean except for that 0day exploit kit floating around on github last week right?
Would you happen to have a link to this? For science of course :)
You mean the one for old ios versions?
You mean the iOS version people are refusing to upgrade from because of the shittified forced UI changes?
You aware that iOS 18 is patched right and "old" means 17 and before?
AFAIK Apple released a patch for EOL devices and not devices which are supported by v26.
You mean those three people who refuse to apply ios 18 security patches because they think it'll give them liquid glass?)
> At least Apple devices are actually secure

lol
