No, they are creating an locked in environment where switching is hard while switching is easy on Android. So you end up with 2 different groups/(markets?). One ready to pay more but locked in and another group wanting to pay less for more with a variety of hardware choices and companies betting against each other for a lower price on same hardware/specifications.

Apple therefore controls the price for their locked in environment. Rising prices for hardware, fees, accesoirs, repairs,...

At least this is how I understand this theory but since I'll probably get downvotes again, this will be my last comment on this. Sorry.

How is switching “hard”? I can pick up an Android device, sign into all of my subscription based services and everything just works. My photos are already synced with Google Photos, music I bought back in the day is DRM free and Apple Music is available on Android.
