I'll never understand why people accept this religion-like relationship with Apple. If you think about it, it really looks like a religion from the outside: the author got some random problem (account lock) then prayed to the god (emailing tim cook) and then the miracle happens (the executive team unlocked the account). This is not a story of any sort if not an evangelization story about dealing with a fickle god. I don't think the author is going to be thinking "wow I really dodged a bullet here, better get off this ecosystem as fast as I can" but instead they're probably going to recall the story about that time when they emailed tim cook and the miracle happened. It makes no sense. ---- And people should also consider that with an account gone all the purchases are gone... Arbitrarily. Music is gone, software is gone, data is gone. Isn't this scary?
