There have been so many stories of users and developers losing libraries and livelyhood because they have been spurned from these "walled gardens." The only real answer is to minimize our footprints in these closed places. My current phone runs Lineage without a hint of Google. I keep an old Samsung for gmail and other services, but the death of "don't be evil" has meant the death of Google on my phone. They will never be back. I have seen several people who sold on Amazon lose their accounts. I am not sure what provoked it, but the exchange is certainly not in favor of the smaller party. And we all know what Ebay did. I can't really say that any one abusive company's behavior is any worse. They are all tyrants with their "star chambers" and sundry courts of inquiry, and the less authority that you give them over you, the better your position will be. We left this legal thinking behind long ago, but Apple (among others) has brought it back. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Chamber https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Chamber
