Fully agree with everything, except the last paragraph. > It means using a free operating system that lets you install whatever software you want and remove any software you don’t. I don’t understand, how free can be scalable. I am ok to pay for software and hardware. Even I update phone, only because Apple stops supporting my old one, I am still ok with that. It was part of why I chose Apple as a platform. Yes, they are expensive and unfortunately you have to update to keep up. But because they have revenue stream from hardware sales and integrated services, such as iCloud, they did not have to sell my data and had an incentive to protected. The promise of privacy was aligned with their revenue goals. Free and open source software is amazing, but is not scalable. Very rarely it comes close on terms of usability to paid software. I want to be in environment, where one can pay for product and expect not to get stabbed later by invasion into they privacy.
