Maybe because a lot of people don't want a desktop OS that is that locked down, so Apple is slowly trying to get people used to it?

- scarface74 7y agoThe number of people that care about Apple’s “walled garden” and that they can’t ssh into the filesystem is much smaller than geeks thinks it is.
- Teever 7y agoAnd that is currently the case for two reasons. The first is that people use their desktops/laptops for things theycant do in the walled garden and the second is that Apple has not finished building the wall as high as they want it to be. Rest assured if Apple made a full transition to a restrictive walled garden more people would take issue with it. They don't right now because Apple is slowly boiling the frog.
- scarface74 7y agoSeeing that the Mac App Store was introduced a decade ago, that’s a really slow boil....
