It's not just shameful, it's stupid. Freedom was the whole point of tolerating the shittiness of Android. If they get rid of that, then there is no point, and I'll just buy an iPhone instead. If I must be in a walled garden, I'll choose the better kept garden, and it sure as hell isn't Google's.
Pragmatically speaking, I doubt that the percentage of users currently choosing Android over iOS for this reason would add up to even 1%. Android dominates worldwide by and large because of cost, and unless Apple pulls another Neo this shall remain regardless of how locked down they make it.
An older iPhone is already better than most new cheaper Android phones.
Many people disagree.
you think it's shitty, but it's a personal opinion that you're phrasing as some kind of widely accepted view
be sure that it's not, lots of people actually PREFER Android
