> The few examples you mention such as bluetooth and mp3 files from iTunes are to do with an industry standard, not because of something Apple did. “The industry” didn’t push for DRM free music. Apple did. https://macdailynews.com/2007/02/06/apple_ceo_steve_jobs_posts_rare_open_letter_thoughts_on_music/ https://macdailynews.com/2007/02/06/apple_ceo_steve_jobs_pos... “The Industry” wanted Apple to license FairPlay DRM to other sellers.

There are plenty of utilities that allow you to copy playlists over. Music you bought from iTunes is DRM free, etc. No company that you buy TV shows from allow you to transfer them DRN free and there is nothing that Apple can do about the movie studios that won’t participate in MoviesAnywhere. If you buy a digital book from Amazon, you have to use “their app” on other platforms. If you use Google Docs, you have to either export it or use “their apps” on other platforms. What’s the difference?
