This is a separate issue and one inherent to every platform that encourages lock-in (which today unfortunately includes pretty much every major one).

I don't think they have it mastered as well as Apple does, you're locked out of OS updates, iOS updates, all entertainment, iMessage, etc.

You essentially turn everything into a paperweight.

I think you can get updates without signing in to iCloud.
