>This isn’t about the control over users, but the app market.
On the contrary. I, a user, want a phone that is locked down. You are demanding that the government force Apple to stop making that phone. You are demanding that no such phone is allowed to exist: that the government steps in to remove that choice for me.
>I, as a developer, have no control over what phone you, as a user, buy.
No, you don't. And you shouldn't have. But you are trying to make that a moot point by demanding the government prevents me from buying the phone I want. You are trying to assert control over the choice of features of the phones I am allowed to buy.
And your propaganda is that you are all about freedom of choice.
