You’re not forced to do anything, that’s freedom. You don’t have to use Apple, that’s freedom. We don’t want to coerce you. We also don’t want to coerce Apple. Let free men make free choices.

I'm merely pointing out that there is no "software freedom" in Apple's ecosystem, just an illusion of one, and even that's locked behind a steep fee.

tldr; don't piss on me and tell me it's raining.

Ah ok, yes I agree that Apple obviously had a closed ecosystem, I don’t think Apple is saying differently. Glad you’re not advocating for coercion.
