For me, the best that Pebble has to offer is: "it is your machine, you can do whatever you want with it". Apple severely restricts what you can install in the hardware you buy from them. Google will soon restrict the installation of Android apps not signed by Google. Microsoft restricts you to use your computer without a Microsoft account. John Deere restricts you from fixing your machines with parts sold by others. Espresso machine manufacturers restrict the capsules you can use in their machines. AWS makes everything incompatible and hard to migrate to other cloud providers. They all follow the IBM business model: you buy IBM and end up fenced in blue in a walled garden that you can't escape. I don't want that. I don't want to buy machines that come with a leach.
