I think it's not that hard of an argument to make that OS and hardware should go together - heck, Apple got praise for decades that their products worked better

I think it's not that hard of an argument to make that OS and hardware should go together - heck, Apple got praise for decades that their products worked better because they were "the seamless integration of hardware and software".
I think it's a much harder argument to make that Apple should get to control all application software used on a device, and furthermore that they have a right to a cut of all revenue of app software sold for a particular device.
- azemetre 2y agoI disagree, I own Apple hardware. I should be able to easily install and repair it without voiding the warranty. The fact that they make this nearly impossible is what makes their practices despicable. It's why I added they should be legally compelled by a consent decree to provide parts, schematics, and the ability to change operating systems seamlessly if they want to keep their monopoly.
