Who are you imagining would desire, apart from you?
Who would pay more for an iPhone they didn't want, gambling on future regulation forcing Apple to let them run Android [LineageOS, etc] at some point, when they could have bought a cheaper phone running what they wanted in the first place?
- Gigachad 5y agoI want an iPhone because I like the OS and the integration with my iPad. This doesn’t mean that I want to be prevented from installing a 3rd party YouTube app. This same fallacy gets used for political parties as well. Just because someone picked an option, doesn’t mean that they approve of every single thing that comes with it. Only that they found overall that the package was preferable.
- jodrellblank 5y agoThat's different, we weren't talking about agreeing with everything or third party apps, this was about third party operating systems. The comparison would be like voting Party1 while hoping someone would legislate that they must behave like Party2, when you could have voted Party2 in the first place. You like the OS and its integration, so it wouldn't be you buying it in the hope that you could replace the OS, right?
