I'm usually happy about the things that Apple is unhappy about. And I'm all in so there's no anti-Apple bias.
They want their products to bind but not protect you, I demand they protect but do not bind me. And I'm not one to compromise
I just don't buy apple.
If I'm understanding what you wrote, I think you actually are bound to Apple. Most people in the Apple ecosystem aren't going to leave it, because there's too much inertia to overcome to leave it.
What I mean is I configure everything so it works for me and everything is portable/exportable and contingencies are in place so if they ever start screwing around again to an extent I can't tolerate or mitigate, then at least my data isn't hostage in the process while I reassess.
I don't allow any of their defaults to stand before I start breaking in whatever product/service.
NO
So why even have an Apple device?
Good question.
Cuz it does lots of other cool shit that keeps me reeled in and it has some irreplaceable apps and other functions I rely on to manage my life. I just like to have custody and sole access to my data and they don't pay me for said data so its need to know basis.
