>but you can still sideload your own code
Unless something has changed very recently, you can't sideload apps to your iOS device without getting a developer account from Apple and owning another apple OSX product from which to do the installation.
Not to mention being unable to use non-safari browsers on iOS and the scanning your images for illegal stuff they're planning on rolling out, and the extremely egregious anti right-to-repair lobbying they're doing.
Apple is not your friend. The less control we have over their device, the more money they can make from us.

They're rolling out a self-repair program soon, though this is certainly due to pressure from shareholders and the like. The other points are completely valid but their sins pale in comparison to Google and Microsoft's.
