Always hated apple for their putrid business practices. Add this to the pile.

I've been trying to find a decent 16'' laptop (to replace my thinkpad x1 carbon).

Been running linux (popos) for donkey years and I entertained the thought I should go back to Apple and get the MacbookPro-16 (which is probably the best laptop you can buy imho).

Then I remembered all this crap that Apple does and dismissed it.

Google play store and steam are the same. This is regulatory. Hating a company for maximising profits is really something you should aim at legislation to control unchecked capitalism.

  • Except neither of those two are the exclusive way to install software on a computer that you own. All 3 have their issues, but Apple is uniquely bad in this way. I don't find myself Hating Steam/Valve.
