Where's the lock-in exactly? Because I can't think of any besides "this application isn't available for linux/windows/android".
Photos -> Export unmodified originals
Calendar -> Export as iCal
E-Mail -> IMAP anyway (and most people use gmail anyway)
iTunes -> Stuff you bought is .aac without DRM. Music subscription can be cancelled every month
Personally I'm mostly using google services, some of them in parallel to Apple's (i. e. Photos, Cloud Storage) and some exclusively (Gmail, Calendar). I could switch any day. But I use computers professionally and lack the time to debug kernels to get audio or sleep or networking to work. And I lack the tastelessness to spend the majority of my working hours with a tool made from cheap plastic.
- Pigo 10y agoI apologize, I didn't mean to dis your choice in devices. I promised myself I wouldn't go at it with the Kook-Aid drinkers anymore. It's just seeing Jobs set 'locking users in' as part of the agenda makes me upset for Apple users, it obviously never affected me.
