- roblabla 10y agoYou can give user freedom to customize the OS in a closed source system TBH. Look at World of Warcraft. The interface can be customized to the user's need, yet WoW isn't open source. And macos is based on an open source Kernel (darwin), and does a lot of open source stuff in general.
- the_duke 10y agoOf course a closed source system can be very customizable, but as OP noted, Apple has never been about freedom of choice. Their whole business model is about locking you in to their products. They are not the only ones who do this, of course. But I also had to actually laugh out loud when I read the whole "it's about freedom" paragraph. The Apple ecosystem is the wrong mothership if you care about these things.
