The phone is the store in your analogy. You own it.
It is yours, yet you do not expect the previous owner to still forceably control the shelf space of your own store. Or exclusively take from your cash register.
- etchalon 6y agoThe phone is very much not the store in my analogy. The store is the store. The phone is the phone. My analogy is not that deep.
- bduerst 6y agoOh no it's spot on. You own your phone, so you own the hardware that houses the store, yet the previous owner is still getting exclusivity inside the property you just purchased. And forceably taking a cut from their competition as you try to transact with their competition.
- wvenable 6y agoThe phone is useless without the store and the store is nothing without the phone. They are inextricably linked. Which is, of course, the whole problem right there.
