I find it funny that the human interface guidelines for iOS states the following under User Control:

> Throughout iOS, people—not apps—are in control. An app can suggest a course of action or warn about dangerous consequences, but it’s usually a mistake for the app to take over the decision-making.

“Do as I say and not as I do” has a long and storied history in software.

See also various UI guidelines from Microsoft at times when not a single MS app that was profitable followed those guidelines.
