While the article may technically address these points, it's not very effective, judging by what people post here. At the time I posted my comment, all the top comments here on HN were complaining how Apple is limiting artistic expression or how hardware makers decide which software we can run.

That's why I wanted to post my clarifications. I don't think that the article is technically wrong, but it seems that people have not read it closely and just came to weird conclusions.
