I still don't see your point. Your argument was they had a rule of "one standard and two proprietary ports" as a means to "allow data to be ingested easily and freely shared inside Apple ecosystem, but not exported back

It's fun watching their list of "Affected Services" grow literally in front of your eyes as they figure out how many things have this dependency. It's still missing the one that earned me a phone call from a client.

I spilled a sugary coffee drink in my keyboard, and having it replaced under AppleCare+ meant they also replaced half the rest of the machine (battery, display etc). I think I'm set for another 5 years.
