WebKit - major PITA, highlighting text and googling in chrome opens safari ?

Appstore - can't install Gameboy emulator for games I've paid 20+ years ago because daddy Apple said so...

You can install an emulator with an extra $8.33 a month for a developer account.

You've been able to build and install iOS apps on your own device without a paid developer account for years now.

Originally, it was "install the emulator on your device," and you said that would cost $8.33/mo, which was wrong. Where exactly are you moving the goalposts now?

Hey, relax. Everything is not a debate. Take off the hostility glasses and re-read my post with some charity:

“Meepmorp you’re totally right, it doesn’t cost anything at all! However, I do highly recommend paying this meager sum because the benefits are quite substantial.”

> can't install Gameboy emulator

That sounds like more of an example of lock-out, than lock-in.
