What if a car company purposely made your car more inefficient every time brought it in for service?
Apple does not own my phone. I purchased it. They are crippling my personal property. This is a blatantly dishonest business practice and I hope Apple gets slapped with a huge class action lawsuit.

Fantastic analogy. I’ve been an Apple person since I started using computers, but I am fed up with them. They are the anti-capitalist robber barons.
You do not own the software. Apple does. They can do anything they want to the software. IP laws suck
No, you’re falling for misinformative fake news.
Apple has essentially found a way to assure your car can get you to the gas station even though the gas in your tank is old and contaminated and won’t provide the proper octane rating because of those contaminants in the tank that your engine requires to run efficiently when your tank is close to empty. . . But if you try to go too fast, the engine will die and get sludged up with crud. So a governor is put on to keep the bad gas flow down to a minimum but keeps the engine still running and you can still get where you absolutely NEED to be.
To prevent damage to your engine, until you get your tank "fixed" the system is making sure you don’t run too much of the "bad contaminated gas" into your engine, but you can still get where you need to go to dilute the bad gas with good gas so it will run well again for a bit, but you STILL need to really fix the underlying problem of the contaminants.
That’s the analogy here.
