Ugh. “Obsessive control”? “Obsessive”? It’s a (very smart and seemingly unbeatable) strategy to limit user actions on these devices to known-safe actions, to prevent users from e.g. changing how the system itself works. It keeps down things like: User confusion, malware potential, customer support, third-party developer testing (heterogenous devices), etc. I hate when bullshit business rags ascribe a quality like “obsession” (with the connotation of OCD or some sort of mental imbalance) to a booming business like Apple. As if they know better in this matter, despite the way Apple’s competitors in the market are making crazy little money in comparison…
