That's fine and well, but it's still not a justification for taking the option away from other users.

- Gigachad 4y agoI don’t need a justification for other peoples use cases. The device does exactly what I want so I bought it. If I waned a device I could run webservers on, I’d buy something else. If they changed the advertised capabilities after purchase, that would be different.
- smoldesu 4y agoThe device does exactly what I want too, except Apple directly prevents me from loading the code that I want to run on-device. > If they changed the advertised capabilities after purchase, that would be different. The suggestion I'm making does not remove any advertised capabilities. There is no 'difference' to speak of. Again, nobody has given a concrete reason why the things that I want stop you from getting what you want.

- smoldesu 4y agoYou still haven't explained how the two are mutually exclusive.
- haswell 4y agoI disagree for a few reasons. Apple hasn’t taken anything away - the option never existed. This is a meaningful difference up front. Apple clearly intends to sell a product that delivers a consistent experience, and they do that by refusing to offer some kinds of flexibility. The moment that flexibility exists, the entire ecosystem changes, and it’s not just about you individually having some option. At that point, it becomes a different product entirely. I don’t try to take my two wheel drive hatchback off-roading. There are better vehicles for that.
