Would you rather prefer a garden that tells you its gated or the one that has invisible gates?

Neither. I won't pay money to have my freedoms taken from me, which is the trade with all Apple purchases

I’m curious... what brand of cell phone do you own? Do they not sell in China?

The one made in China? 10m40s https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KiItd6I3VHU
Or that time they agreed to CCP demands to ban the Taiwan flag emoji, pressure Telegram to ban multiple rooms, and banned multiple apps used by dissidents to communicate?
Apple markets their obedience and cooperation to be successful in China while marketing themselves as champions of privacy in the USA to differentiate themselves from Google... while being worse than Google in China.
This company makes decisions based on what is profitable in a given market. It is all bait and switch to get you into their walled garden.
