I agree with most of what you say. The walled garden bullshit they pull with the iphone and their other products should not be legal. I don't care if customers "want it". Just as apple is willing to call it's prospective customers who want more control over it's products "stupid", I will call anyone who knowingly buys a device they fundementally don't control (e.g. no sudo) "stupid". In situations where customers are "stupid", proper recourse can be found through government and/or legal action.
It's especially bad because apple legitimately makes better built products than competitors. It's too bad that they use this lucrative position to take a sh*t all over not-"stupid" customers while simultaneously baiting the uninformed masses into giving away their computing freedom.
Proper adblocking is not even a consideration for most iphone users. Apple users have few defenses against predatory marketing and attention leeches. That's horrible for society, and a user shouldn't be forced to choose between good build quality and controlling their device...
