> but it does at least employ actual security and privacy in many places. It doesn't. It has total control over what you can use which is the least privacy and security friendly option you can have. That control means they can give up any privacy and security promises under a bit of government pressure, like Apple already did plenty of times. It's the same problem as with end-to-end encryption in vendor controlled binaries, they promise you it's there, but they can and will silently compromise it if pressured or decide to do so. > Finally, their walled garden - although not perfect - is far safer than any other one out there. Walled gardens are not inherently safer than anything out there.
