How am I not an end user? I buy Apple products, and I use them daily. I described ways I have accepted the limitations Apple has put on my usage of them. I could describe more? I can’t swap out RAM or storage, I’m no longer willing to risk the damage of swapping out batteries. I can’t install hacks that let me switch Safari tabs with my mouse wheel. These are my daily devices, I use them both for work and life. How am I not the end user? I don’t get it.

I think what's meant is that you aren't representative of an end user. That seems a sane interpretation of what saurik was trying to convey when put into the context of his other statements.

I don’t think that’s what they were saying to me. They saw that I represented myself as a software developer and determined that I was making decisions for someone other than myself, when I straight up said that I was knowledgeably making decisions for myself.
