The lock down gives Apple the leverage to force good behavior and policy. If it was left to choice the companies are incentivized to be shitty. Users are unsophisticated so the incentive will be for companies to track, mine, and sell data and most will do it. > “You can choose to only download apps from the Apple store that follow those rules” There will be way fewer of them, if it’s even possible to tell them apart at all. > “Why do you feel everyone else in the world must live in your limits...” I don’t - they can buy android and side load if they want to. Why do you feel I must be forced to suffer an open platform as well? Forcing Apple to do this removes consumer choice, it doesn’t add to it.
