Typical "My functionality is the only thing that matters" pretentious mindset.
It's a general purpose personal computer. Not some device you sold me which exists for the purpose of solely connecting to your app.
Let's treat automobiles the same way you'd like us to treat computers. I go to a Shell station to fill up with gas. They have custom nozzles, and I have to drill a hole and weld on a special fitting to get gas. Two days later I go to BP and fill up again. They have proprietary nozzles that don't work with Shell fittings. So I drill another hole and weld on another fitting. 6 months and 40 gas stations later my car barely moves because it's a tragic mess of holes and ugly shit welded all over it. Why? Well I might want to stop at a Shell station in the future.
F* that and any company who operates this way.
