>From Apple's POV, a completely unlocked system that allows the user can do anything is like selling a car you can drive on all passable roads. It's the default. The Apple ecosystem on the other hand is a artificially restricted environment. They removed parts like the steering wheel to craft a very specific vision. Yes you get less freedom, but most people aren't technically literate, and they're not buying it for general purpose computing. They're buying Apple's monopolistic, user subjugating vision. Which includes as many ways as possible for Apple to capitalize on their monopoly.
- _dibly 6y agoIs there anything you wanted to contribute, or were you just fishing for upvotes here? There are about a million different ways to make any of the points you made that would actually merit a response, but you really took the ball and ran with it. Do you think anyone is going to read your snarky response to someone who was making a reasonable point and think "this seems like someone who wants to have a conversation"?
- rStar 6y agoI wanted to contribute the comment I did, to illustrate what I believe, and how it differs to the view of the user I was responding to.
- hyperdimension 6y agoI'm not usually a fan of repeat-the-comment's-argument-but-replace-it-with-analagous-terms-type comments, I thought it was at least a decent comparison, especially considering that phones and cars are pretty general-purpose devices.
