Those are all the main reasons I don't choose Apple devices.

Same here, they are not even luxury anymore as it was viewed in many parts of the world in the past, my current phone was more expensive than highest iphone at the same time. I can do what the fuck I want with it. Its full fledged computer with tremendous power for most real tasks, and I don't need to hack it to fully use it.
I admire the sheer time and resources poured in perfecting the Apple experience, it has been its trademark since original ipods. But the way they set up relation between customer and provider is so unequal and outright disrespectful, I'll never buy their product.
Don't treat me like an incompetent idiot and we can start talking.
Apple sees developers and third party software as threats to the user, the only safe thing to do is to lock it all down.
Apple also got addicted to App Store money. Letting you install unapproved software means Apple doesn’t get their cut of not only the sale of the software but also the sale of anything through the software. And Apple wants their rent.
Apple is organizationally incapable of building a good iPad OS. The culture prohibits it and the incentives are misaligned.
