So you’re saying that you know better what most people want in a phone than they do? I bet if you told 100 random people on the street what they could do with an Android phone that they couldn’t do with an iPhone, 99 of them would shrug and not care.

The flipside to that is: do you outsource all of your opinions to "the actions of the majority"? Ignorance is the default state and probably shouldn't be relied upon for, or even asked it's opinion on, guiding the path forward.

  No the flip side is that I choose the product on the market that best meets my needs as do most people. I started programming in assembly in 6th grade in 1986 and by the time I graduated from college in 1996, I had dabbled in assembly for four different processors (65C02, 68K, PPC, x86) and I have been a professional hands on keyboard developer since then [1]. I think I have a good grasp on how this computer stuff works. I still prefer the Apple ecosystem. Have you thought that most people don’t care about the ability to run a Linux shell on their phone? I certainly don’t. [1] before I get called out, I’ve mentioned before that my official title now is “cloud architect specialized in application modernization consulting”. But that just means that I’m still just an “full stack enterprise developer” who also writes a shit ton of yaml/HCL/PowerPoint slides, “one pagers” and PrFAQs.
