Is there ANY OS out there that doesn't allow apps to the internet by default?

Seriously, you throw around things like "sociopaths" for a pretty standard and expected user behaviour in all OSes out there?

Wait, why is this a controversial stand?

Is it really that bad to not wanting a random torch app to not use all your monthly data on God knows what?

Because you're throwing jabs at Android while literally every other OS in existence behaves the same way regarding network access.

Android is infinitely better than anything you can come up with Linux OS on mobile. It is much easier to "fix" Android's "issues".

I don't understand how you can generalize this far. Using a full desktop OS on mobile with all desktop apps is undoubtedly better.
