It's billion devices and millions of users. Monopoly or not it affects large number of users
- overgard 8y agoAffects large number of people is not the same thing as those people having no viable alternatives. Utilities are often monopolies, and arguably Microsoft was in the 90s, but a company with like < 50% of desktop market share?
- writepub 8y agoYou've put significant effort in defining monoply classification or suggesting workarounds, instead of calling Apple out on unethical behavior. Maybe it's better for Apple's customers for Apple to show some empathy, and not unfairly lock down their hardware. Macs have been secure enough without this new lockdown, so any argument made for security seems like a cover for their true greed
- overgard 8y agoLol, a couple sentences about a well defined notion (monopoly) is not a “significant effort”
- hesarenu 8y agoViable alternative or not it still affects large number of users. Millions is not a small amount.
