I avoid the Apple ecosystem for 3 reasons.
1 - The inevitable conclusion of Apple's walled garden is that once they fail to demonstrate organic revenue growth, they will begin converting their platform control into revenue, at the expense of users. In ways that make the App Store look quaint.
2 - I'm allergic to tech elitism, and I like messing with people who distilled their social litmus test down to the icon colors for non-standard SMS reimplementations.
3 - MacOS and power users are obviously so far off Apple's priority list at this point that relying on it as a work platform is a poor risk decision.

And lies, so many lies, not worse than other manufacturers but they don't try to act like saviors of universe/privacy/whatnot, which they aren't if you actually follow things a bit.
