You're spot on, I'm sorry that you're being downvoted. Apple Inc has a monopoly on regular users' hardware for their iOS/OS. Windows, Linux, Android, Windows

You're spot on, I'm sorry that you're being downvoted. Apple Inc has a monopoly on regular users' hardware for their iOS/OS. Windows, Linux, Android, Windows Phone OS (when that was a thing), did not. Companies were able to try and provide the best hardware in order to win customers. Apple doesn't have provide the best hardware, regular users only have one hardware provider to choose from if they want Apple's iOS/OS. (The average regular user is not going to make a Hackintosh.)
