  > I would put a correction that Apple users specifically like walled gardens the app stores. I don't disagree with you, but I don't think it's specifically liking walled gardens: it's rather about hating fragmentation. It's the same thing with gamers who complain about Epic exclusives that want their entire game library on Steam, or people who complain about Disney/Hulu/Prime licensing titles that were previously on Netflix. People just don't want to have multiple accounts.

  @ratww: people don't like different accounts for a very good reason: it costs a lot more money to obtain the same value.

    > it costs a lot more money to obtain the same value True, this is easy to see in the Netflix/Hulu/Prime example, with requiring multiple subscriptions. Do you also think it holds true for the Steam and Apple examples? That's a legitimate question btw, I have no opinion of my own.
