This comparison to Windows and MSFT is really interesting. And it is really crazy how much we’ve accepted from Apple regarding lock-in. I’m impressed that the Apple Watch made it in the lawsuit exactly because it feels like a niche product because of the plethora of other smartwatches. But the anti-competitive behaviors in so many little decisions stifle innovation in the space and prevent basic consumer choices. And the trend over the last 20 years has only been getting worse. The Apple Watch is more locked down than iPhones which are much more locked down than PCs. Just been a bad trend in computing that 80s Apple benefitted from in a way that today’s Apple doesn’t allow.
