Apple sells the ability to be part of an 'in-group'. People don't buy their phones for their computing abilities, they do it to have access to other Apple users.

This reads like the whining of a 14-year-old standing in a dark corner during the school dance. Translation:

"Look at me! I'm different! I'm so very counter-culture. People like Apple products, so I'm going to pretend it's a problem with the people and not other products. That way I can cosplay like I'm better/smarter/cooler than all those 'lemmings.' Now I'm going to smoke cigarettes, wear jeans, pop a leather jacket because nobody's been doing that since the 1940's. I'm special!"

I mean that is exactly what happened more or less. Apple made their phones a status symbol, and locked in users to their ecosystem. And now, even if you don't care about being cool you care about imessage and airdrop with friends.
