I wonder if part of that is you telling your grandmother "this device is safe and you can do anything you want." My whole family uses Windows and Android and no one has any problems. I wonder how many companies have data mined your grandma's contacts. She probably clicks yes on every permission prompt because she thinks the device is "safe". > Speaking mutually-beneficial: Sign-in with Apple, a "gimped" browser, developer restrictions, forcing IAP to go through Apple. Yes, those all all very clearly benefit Apple. But they also benefit users. How does something like devaluing PWAs in the browser benefit me? How is +30% on something as simple as a payment request benefitting me? Consolidating your logins behind Sign-in with Apple has risks too. If you end up being an outlier and getting banned by Apple you're going to have a bad time. > Genuine question: Apple makes no secret of the fact that they exert a large degree of control over the ecosystem, and they have a generous return policy. If you don't hate Apple, why don't you just buy an Android device and allow those of us who like iOS the way it is to live in peace? Why are you forcing your desires on us? Because an app that can't get onto or can't be successful on the app store isn't going to get built, so Apples' restrictions bleed over to Android users both as apps that don't get built and as apps that are built to have feature parity between mobile platforms. You'll also have companies targeting average revenue per user, so the +30% charged by closed app stores means I'm subsidizing those users if I sign up via the website.
