Are we supposed to pretend it’s something other than vertical integration because you happen to prefer their approach?

- viraptor 7y agoI don't understand why you'd pretend anything. You've got 3 areas: 1. Producers actively preventing you from running custom software (iOS, TVs, game consoles, some Android systems, ...). 2. Platforms providing default software and leaving an official way to replace it (pixels and a few other androids, ...). 3. Producers who mostly don't care what you run. (PCs) It matters to me that things are as close to the 3rd category as possible. But let's not lump 1 and 2 together - there's a huge difference.
