I agree with you. I assume your disappointment comes from the fact that most HN commenters don’t understand/empathise with the needs of the general public, and continue to demand their way of things. There are options like Android, Linux phones, etc. These might not be perfect for the things HN commenters are demanding, but they exist as options. Yet, instead of going with an attitude of “iPhones are the way they are, they are not for me, so I will use something else”, they seem to demand that even iPhones become open, adopt alternative stores, etc. I am not clear where the entitlement comes from, but it does bother me too when I see tone deaf comments like those.
