Exactly, I cannot believe the Hacker News crowd are penalising you for correcting OP on not knowing that the walled garden metaphor specifically refers to the App Store, which is not an issue on MacOS.

No. That might have been where you first saw the concept applied, but a walled garden is a commercial ecosystem that is deliberately closed to foster a sense of value and exclusivity, usually in spite of no technical reason for it.

Walled gardens are inherently anti consumer market plays that make things worse for everyone except the people milking money from the idiots paying into the walled garden.

What part of MacOS is a walled garden? I can use any Bluetooth or USB device with it. I can install Linux on it. I can compile my own code on it. I can download applications from any source I please and install them.
