No, but it's one of them, and imho a very important one. You recommended I don't use the apps - I recommend you don't use the device. It's not like it's not possible to live without iPhone in Europe.

The magnitude of our recommendations differ quite a lot. The phone is the most important thing in your life. Changing it is very expensive, both in money and in your own time.

Changing which app you use is, in most cases, a far less costly endeavor.

If you were upset that an injustice was occuring where you lived, would you want people to tell you to move to another country?

So why did these people buy the device in the first place? They knew what they were getting into. Why do they have to break it for the ones who actually wanted it?
