But Apple, Google and co do the same thing themselves. Here's an example from Android: Mom gets a new Android phone. The phone asks if she wants to back up pictures she takes (it even used a weird word in my native language that I had never heard before). She selects yes. A few months later Google tells her to upgrade her subscription plan for Google Drive, because her Drive space is full. If she doesn't upgrade then scary things will happen!! (They said she wouldn't receive emails anymore.) So she comes to me with it. It's an annoying process to delete the photos, especially when you're trying to make sure it only deletes it on Drive and not locally. A week later she comes to me and says her drive space is full again, because the phone will keep pestering her to turn on cloud backups. I have no faith that Apple doesn't pull some similar types of tricks. People who don't handle computing devices well will fall for all of these prompts about this and that. The alternative is that they never update their phone and don't understand why things don't work anymore.
