My example was that specific user, if you didn't notice.

I send and receive iMessages perfectly fine on my non-iOS devices. It's doable, much more so than running ancient hardware is, but there are reasons I don't bring it up with people who haven't asked.

The PinePhone Pro wasn't a compromise, it was unusable. Maybe that's improved since then, but it was a horrendous experience.

I set the IT policy for my devices. I sleep fine saying I can't install crapware on it. It's my primary business device and that comes with sensible restrictions.

My argument was that the trend is new, while your link is to a 2.5-year-old comment.

The Pro version had a very small developer community and thus quite undeveloped software. It was discontinued for this reason.
