Apple doesn't need me to carry water for them, but you're actually damaging the case for open hardware and software by carrying on like a porkchop because closed hardware and software is also available.

> You claim that users 'agree' to this when they buy Apple devices.

I claimed no such thing. Read my words directly and please don't put your own spin on them.

In a market where both options exist why should one change to be like the one you prefer?

Yeah. Just read this fresh news: "Google is apparently taking down all/most fediverse apps from the Play Store" [1]. To quote source:

"Google is apparently taking down all/most fediverse apps from google play on the grounds that that some servers in the fediverse engage in hate speech"

THIS is what you are so tirelessly advocating for
