- freedomben 2y agoIndeed, I don't understand why people's reactions to not liking and being trapped by a lock-in walled garden strategy (Authy) is to switch to another lock-in walled garden strategy (Apple).

Apple is too big/public to screw around with making a quick buck by changing terms. They are also likely to have significantly better security posture on every aspect of application development and distribution. How much stringency does a code/platform change get at Authy vs Apple? However, once you are in the Apple walls, they are just as ruthless at keeping you locked inside, which is why I try to minimize my dependencies where possible.
