I would hazard a guess that it’s less fanboyism and more cynicism towards and lack of trust in the software makers that would be creating competition. A big selling point of Apple platforms has been a unified experience that acts an escape from much of the nonsense brought by those software makers. In my mind the fact that support for opening up iPhones and the like isn’t unilateral is something of an indictment of the larger state of the software world. When users are actively seeking a walled garden as a form of shelter, you know something with the surrounding world is messed up pretty badly. Yes Apple needs to do better, but so do the overwhelming majority of companies putting out any kind of software.
