This ownership wording is the wrong thinking when it comes to platforms.

Exactly. If I buy and drive a BMW, I’m a BMW driver. I’m not BMW’s user.
What a scary way to phrase that relationship.

But it is how these companies see people, which is what GP is talking about.

More importantly, that's how these companies treat people and get away with it. So, however wrong and scary it is, it's also true.

I've never heard of Apple dictating anything through Safari on iOS. Are they blocking sites that they don't approve of?
If you want access to Apple's user. You have to play by their rules. Remember even if those users are Tumblr's reader or members, they are ultimately accessing it via iPhone, whether that is through Safari or Apps. And Apple dictate the rules.
Since Apple is a force of Good. Apple are righteous. Their fellow evangelist will tell you everything else are by their definition are Evil. Such as Ads. And banning whatever it is, whether that is porn, news that does not adhere to their political views, or music that doesn't fits certain requirement. And they are fighting all these evil for you, an act of love.
