I agree.
I think most of arguments against what Apple is doing are based on an incomplete picture of Apple's product. They are based on someone not appreciating an aspect of what Apple is doing. Maybe they don't like the price. Maybe they don't like a lack of complete control over their hardware. The rest of it is always a rant to justify that position.
There is provable value in what Apple is doing, or the app store would not be a success. Some people just want to have their cake and eat it too.

There is provable value in what Apple is doing, by curating a higher quality and better integrated ecosystem than Google/Android offers. Polish which is funded by profits from the App Store. On the other hand, the App Store's success also benefits from full capture of all iOS users and network effects of releasing when it did. > Some people just want to have their cake and eat it too. Some people think you shouldn't be allowed to put cocaine in soda, even if it's tasty. (To use a 1920s metaphor)
- netizen-936824 5y agoI have a sneaking suspicion that cocaine wasn't in soda purely for the flavor
- cglong 5y agoI personally raise awareness to this because I think of all the possibilities for mobile technology that people don't even know they're missing out on, e.g. Xbox Cloud Streaming/Stadia, emulators, NFC beyond payments.
- anko 5y agoI think that's a good idea as long as it's balanced. A list of things you can't do is reasonable. btw, you can do nfc beyond payments on ios and have for years; https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/ios/user-interaction/near-field-communication/ https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guideline...
