+1 I agree with you.
I have two Linux laptops that I can do anything I want on. Fit for hacking and having fun with.
I also value my Apple closed system devices: Apple Watch + AirPods, iPhone 11 pro camera (it makes phone calls also), MacBook, and a small iPad Pro. The Apple devices sort of fade into the background for reading books, listening to music and audiobooks, and writing.
I don’t see what is wrong having open devices and also locked down devices, for different use cases.
EDIT: also, I don’t install very many apps on iOS devices and when possible use web apps. More of my software development is also now done on leased VPS. Usually, I want my local devices to be secure and convenient.
