>but agree that a person shouldn’t be forced to buy another device to use the device at hand. They shouldn't be, but that's the reality whether we like it or not. We all know by now, or should if we haven't been living under a rock, how Apple operates and how hostile it is to people who don't want to be fully in the Apple ecosystem. So it's the user's responsibility to make better choices and avoid Apple products altogether if they don't want to be fully in the Apple ecosystem. It's just like many other bad things in life. We can wish all we want that things were different, talk about how it shouldn't be this way, how people shouldn't become serial murderers, etc., but bad things happen and some people (and companies) are just evil, so we have to deal with that instead of wishing it was different.
