Say that to their market cap. Seems a lot of people appreciate what comes with that drawback. Revealed preferences can be a sonuvabitch.
- freedomben 3y agoyep. And GP themself is an example of why this works. Their practices sold an iphone and converted a fanatic Android user!
- smoldesu 3y agoI will say that to their market cap. Such an insane capitalization on digital sales can only be achieved by extinguishing the alternatives your platform can host. It's a regressive featureset that can (apparently) only be reversed through legislative demands a-la Digital Market Act. Many, many companies have had huge market caps while funding anti-humanist or exploitative processes. Given Apple's scale you almost have to assume that they're abusing something lucrative.

- joshmanders 3y agoYep, this is an unpopular HN opinion, but I actually like Apple's walled garden. It's safe, it's friendly and I don't have to worry.
- vore 3y agoThis is in fact the most popular HN opinion that always comes up on every Apple thread.
