Sure, except that once you get past the idea of trusting others for your security, and instead learning and securing stuff yourself, you quickly realize that "tightly controlled" is just a synonym for "you don't really own your device, we just let you use it how we see fit". As so recently demonstrated by Apples ability to remove the HKmap.live app.

In general really wonder why people still defend Apple these days. Even if you overlook a combination of stuff like infinite attempts for icloud logins that led to the Fappening, their role in HK protests, and of course their pretty terrible labor practices that go so far as even to supposedly break the Chinese labor laws (which is a feat in itself), there is still issues with stuff they produce. Their hardware and software quality has been on a hard decline, especially if you compare it to alternatives rather than on its own merit. They don't really innovate despite opposite marketing claims, and they still participate in this "technology as a jewelry" thing with their $1000 monitor stands.
