Isn't the main argument is the user choice? if I as a user chose what the comment you are replying said, then what is the problem?

Yes users should be free to choose whatever browser they want and the gatekeeper shouldn't be allowed to interfere with that.

That is not my point. I mean the point is that many people who chose to own IOS did that because of privacy and security it provides as the current apple ecosystem. It is like choosing a private school with a restrict rules and code of conduct over another private school with more open rules (options) since you pay for your phone anyway.

Sue user choice. But some times less choice is better. If every website prompts for push notifications my dad would end up throwing his phone out the window in anger if he started getting notifications because a website updated. My parents have no clue what they are doing on a phone. The less features the better.
