Are you new here? All of these things are examples of locked down ecosystems that most of us in favor of this change also want unlocked.

The idea that you can own a device and can't do whatever you want with it is asinine. If you can't do what you want, you don't own it.

Are you new here? Every discussion about closed ecosystems I see on this terrible website has people arguing for both sides. That’s why they’re…arguments…and not simply people patting each other on the back.

If you have seen multiple discussions about closed ecosystems, then you should know it's not about Apple specifically and is about the principle of device ownership already.
