- prions 5y agoBecause that group values personal ownership of technology, and their aversion to the "you will own nothing and be happy" philosophy as antithetical to their own.
- ericmay 5y agoAh ok. I at least sympathize with this group, if not outright support it, but didn't see an issue with Apple offering this as a service. If they stop selling stand-alone devices I think that might be a red flag though.
