It's the choice some people make. I think user experience is very subjective. I love the user experience that Gentoo provides me, but others will feel better with Windows 10. I didn't mean to say that it's objectively the best experience.

As a user, there is zero benefit to me when an Apple software update bricks my device because I replaced its screen at a third-party shop.

This is not subjective, this is not an argument over whether or not their laptops should have a replaceable battery. This is a blatant cash grab by them, at my expense. I gain nothing from this decision.

This practice may also be illegal in Europe.
