But how does this metaphor work because Apple and Google customers largely have the same experiences; if anything the Apple ecosystem often has a teensy bit more than Google.
Also, are single ecosystem households more common than multi ecosystem ones? Is that obvious?
- emsy 5y agoI stated that the same applies to Google and other companies. These networks hold immense power over our lives and for some reason we grant it to them unquestioned because "well they built it". Also, I wasn't talking about households but individuals. Most individuals only use one main OS as a daily driver and the lock-in is a real and important factor that contributes to competitors not simply being able to "build their own". This argument doesn't make sense if you think about it. ISPs build their own infrastructure but depending on where you live they still have to comply to regulations. As smartphones are an ever increasing component of our lives (contact tracing, payment, tickets, access to hardware and services) it seems odd that we somehow exempt them from any regulations whatsoever.
