This is a case for post-purchase rationalization.
Take an obviously negative trait and spin/distort it in such a way it sounds like an advantage, reinforcing your delusion that you made the right choice.
Same for a single, apple-controlled store, the inability to actually install apps without a store, even deciding what browser engine should everyone use.
- gentleman11 3y agoAnd this I think is called gaslighting? Telling somebody they are wrong about what they think or feel? Or maybe not gaslighting. What is the term for this? Attack via psychology undermining?
- cabirum 3y agoAre you saying there is no objective wrong? You cannot "feel" that 2×2 != 4.
- ubermonkey 3y agoLOL. I want my phone to be locked down and curated. This isn't post-purchase rationalization. I have actively chosen the iPhone over and over and over since its introduction, because the alternative is so obviously inferior from a security, privacy, and application selection POV. Obviously, I am making different choices than you are, but it's a weak argument to dismiss them as "rationalization" in a transparent effort to crown your preferred platform king.
