This reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson's speeches about race version of street cars: Paying more for less car. Ten thousand dollars more for the same car but without air conditioning. A few thousand more for one without rear seats. Eventually we will we be paying an infinite amount of money for a car that doesn't exist.
Three dollars to disable this OS feature. Another three to not use passwords. A few more for bypassing another feature tomorrow. One day we will be paying for an OS that doesn't actually do anything. But isn't that exactly what happens every time I buy a laptop? I am paying for an OS that I am going to bypass/dump/replace the moment I open the box!

- aikinai 5y agoThe OS (iOS) and the service you’re paying to modify (Google) are very different, so this analogy doesn’t make any sense. If Apple charged you to not use ScreenTime or something, sure, but that’s not the case.
- cunthorpe 5y agoWhat he said doesn’t make sense anyway. More is less. Plenty of people pay extra to have a slimmed down version of something, ask Apple users.
