I’m pleased with my walled-off Apple environment, in fact I sought it out as an improvement over android. Apps are designed with Apple hardware in mind, apps (from what I understand) have more stringent security requirements, and everything works within my Apple environment logically and seamlessly.
Uncle Sam should but out and let the market decide (by innovation and competition) decide.
Ditto, here.
Loyal Apple customers since 1982. My wife worked there in that era for ten years managing software licensing. We’ve owned many, many Apple products back to the Apple 2.
The evolution to where “it all just works” is incredible.
