I understand where you come from, but I believe it is way too late for that.
I used to be an Apple "fanboy", way more moderate than the term suggests but up until 2016-2017 I thought their approach made more sense and was seeking the best compromise possible.
But now they are too far gone in the money making, empire building side. I believe the culture that built the Apple we loved is completely dead now and all the people that were the keepers of that have either moved out themselves or got pushed out by management to make way for the new culture of ultra greed rent seeking.
I think it is naive to believe we can go back to what Apple was. It is a shell of itself and even the hardware products are somewhat nice but feel very bland and uninspired for the price (they also have a lot of performance/durability problems because of cost cutting, margin chasing). And this time there is not Steve Jobs to come back.
In my opinion it is better to see the objective truth, cut your losses and move on to another cheaper and more open platform. There is not much to expect from Apple, it's all downhill from here...
