Between android and ios you have choice between $50 and over $2k of phone prices. You have quite a big choice in terms of smartphone prices/capabilities. One of iOS key features is it's walled garden. If you don't want that don't buy it. It's like complaining that Ferrari doesn't make Corrolla priced cars. They just... don't. They also don't make 3 cylinder cars making less than 200hp. Buy what fits your needs don't ask Ferrari to make a Camri competitor.

Imagine there was only Ferrari and Corrolla...

  Sure. I’m imagining that. I still don’t see how Ferrari should be compelled by law to make economy cars.

    This is not at all what I'm asking. I'm asking them not to prohibit me to replace the engine after the warranty is over.

      > This is not at all what I'm asking. Maybe you could be less cryptic? You could start by describing what you'd hope we'd imagine when you said "Imagine there was only Ferrari and Corrolla..."? Because I imagined that and you told me I imagined the wrong thing. That's not how it works. I did exactly what you asked. If you wanted me to imagine something else, you would need to tell me what I should have imagined. Be less cryptic if you want to be understood. > I'm asking them not to prohibit me to replace the engine after the warranty is over. Wait, all you want is for Apple to not stand in your way when installing a different operating system on your iPhone? Sure, I'm all for that. I wouldn't expect Apple to be obligated to document the hardware or write drivers for you. You're probably not going to get Apple to give you the source code for Face ID or the secure enclave. But I agree that there's no reason why Apple should make it difficult to install an entirely different operating system. That's got nothing to do with what you've being saying though.
