> There’s tonnes of Apple features that break because of this. Apple’s view is that there’s a 1:1 correspondence between Apple IDs and people, and everything they do is designed around that fact.

Ugh, yeah. Good point. Never had a company that made me have a separate AppleID so I didn't think of it.

It would, of course, be a non-issue if Apple allowed multiple users on iPad :-/

> The “oh no, everything is so complex because Apple refuses to use USB-C” hand wringing is massively overblown.

Yeah. It exclusively comes from non-Apple owners. They never seem to notice that it's not a big deal for people actually living it.
