My issue with Apple has been less about green vs blue text and more about how they lockout to lockin. In effect you can’t make equally competing products around and on the iPhone unless Apple supports and has decided the API, or user default options for the OS is safe for their business to make public. Innovation around the phone is steered and gatekept by Apple for when Apple is ready, not if the hardware is. This article makes a good point about the iPod and iTunes on Windows. There are lesser known examples of policy based lockouts like mobiussync for syncthing being held back by background scheduling limitations or that bit torrent software isn’t allowed. Then also there’s the issue of control center only allowing Apple builtin (unchangeable) default app controls… when interestingly a number of these have become more than just preinstalled conveniences but are now also fronting funnels to an iCloud subscription.
