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.
A few years ago I got the m1 macbook air (lovely hardware!). Some software update fully bricked it, which is really annoying already. Then I found out the only way to restore it was to connect it to another macbook. That was it for me.
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.

The Services version of apple is the worst. Tim Cook might actually be the worst ceo apples had
The Nineties would like a word.
Apple making sure to stay in lock step with the US' general decline into late stage capitalist decline.
When one person acts up it’s a person problem. When everyone acts up it’s a system problem.

It functionally is for most users with android phones. 99% of people aren’t side loading apps.
