It’s not hard to believe someone would like to have their cake and eat it too. That doesn’t make it a reasonable demand though.

The parents say the iPhone is what they want and that is because the iPhone is the phone you can’t accidentally break by installing alternative stores or apps or making the wrong settings. If Apple is forced to allow alternative stores, apps and settings that can break the system, the iPhone is no longer the phone they wanted.

I just re-read it and couldn't find the part where they said that. Do you have a direct citation from the parent, or are you just floating a guess to support your opinion?

I read the comment as a generic statement about parents/old people, but as it refers to the parent comment it indeed makes little sense
