Nobody should be genuinely surprised a trillion-dollar company is trying to defend it's walled garden. If only portable computing devices arrived before the bus

Nobody should be genuinely surprised a trillion-dollar company is trying to defend it's walled garden. If only portable computing devices arrived before the business models evolved. I would love the flexibility of a desktop operating system on my mobile device.

There were devices like the Nokia N900 (then the iPhone came and destroyed everything and everyone) and there still are handheld devices with full operating systems (like the GPD computers). People just don't want those. Maybe you do, but for every you there are millions who don't. It's not about the business models.
