I think your questionnaire is from Apple hater perspective, it feels like propaganda. Questions are written from the perspective that appears to be "You actually want to get away from Apple but you are stuck or you don't know better" and that's not the case for me. You Ask me if I find Apple software restrictive and put a paragraph explaining to me why it is restrictive for example.
Anyway, IMHO you should simply accept that a lot of people simply have better things to do in life than fine tuning and managing computers. That's why no one of those care about the customisation options of Linux or Android. In fact, most people don't like computers and Apple is the best company out there that manages to make computers that don't feel like computers but tools to achieve your greater objectives.
Cooks may appreciate good knives but their main objective is to make great food and no good cook will be obsessing with the knives more than with the food they cook. They will be most happy with having one reliable knife that cuts good enough than having a set of knives perfectly tuned for every ingredient.
You can see the same pattern in photography, people who are good at taking good photos don't obsess over the photography gear as much as photo gadget nerds who never take good photos and writers don't obsess over pens as much as pen enthusiast.
- LorenDB 2y agoWell, please keep in mind that I am not intentionally trying for this to be propaganda. I'm instead trying to see how the Apple users themselves view some of the arguments that others use against Apple. To me, this is an important step because maybe the lack of customization or the high prices don't bother people as much as I expect it to, so I may have something to learn there.
- thiht 2y agoIt is propaganda though, the answers are extremely biased to make people feel bad. Take « How loyal do you consider yourself to be to the Apple brand? », why are there 2 answers saying "I’m fine with others using non-Apple products"? You’re projecting your childish flame war on everyone. Why can’t I answer "I prefer using Apple products but I’m fine if I have to use something else"? Of course I don’t care what other people use, why would I?
