> Now, maybe people shouldn’t be allowed to make those tradeoffs
They are free to make those tradeoffs. If people want to keep using the Apple app store, or walled garden, or whatever, that's fine.
What instead people want to allow, is for other people to be able to use the products that they own in whatever way that they choose.
> It’s a great curated closed ecosystem
As long as other people can choose to use their Apple devices that they own in the way that they prefer, then that's fine.
Keep using that ecosystem. Other people should be free to use their devices however they wish though.
> You’re seeing people as helpless and they’re just not.
Users are not able to help themselves to use their own Apple devices how they want. In that sense yes, they are helpless to use their own Apple device in a way that they prefer.

- stale2002 3y ago> all of the benefits If people want to control their own devices they should be allowed to do so. > good-guys-only crypto back door Or, how about instead of that, the people who want to stay in the wall garden are allowed to do that, and other people who disagree are also allowed to use their own devices however they want. Problem solved.
