iOS and MacOS users face huge barriers to hacking their devices because the BSD license didn't even attempt to ensure their freedom to do so. To publish code without copyleft is to donate your work to the parasites of the industry.

iOS and Mac users willingly chose shiny over free. They never had a free OS, merely one built on some free components.

Re parasites: do you mean people and companies who use OSS without giving (enough) back, like most of us?
