Apple really set themselves up as a "Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory", spending a lot of time presenting marvels (both helpful and useless) to hide the dirty secrets under the surface. Near slavery conditions in manufacturing, arbitrarily applied clauses and rules, and technically enabled limitations to even repair their "Intellectual Property". For years you had to accept the rules of the factory or get shoved down an egg chute, while fanboys laugh at you all the way down.
Times have changed though, Willy Wonka is gone now, phones are nearly identical in specs across the board, and there aren't that many more marvels to distract with.
