Corollas won't actively resist you going offroad, or being modified until it can drive offroad and win the manufacturer title in the WRC[0]. In contrast Apple resists modification of both their software & hardware so much that's it's spawned a whole right-to-repair movement around it. I like the fact the PC ecosystem allows so much freedom. I have a countless amount of mods for my games that aren't nor will be developer sanctioned, downloaded from an open-source browser running multiple aggressive privacy plugins that I know for a fact won't run on whatever engine Safari uses, all on a PC I built myself with an overclock that has voided most of my warranties. In the mobile space I use a Google pixel from which I theoretically could run anything I want on if Verizon wasn't a complete asshole with the bootloader. None of those things would be possible with anything Apple produces.
Now normally I would say that as a company you have the right to legally abuse your userbase however you want, but when you get this big that your profit margin exceeds that of several democratic countries and your particular flavor of abuse is inspiration for product development in general, than I'm going to support you losing that particular privilege.
