Yeah, I guess I do agree that you should be able to just run it without an account and load apps from elsewhere

I doubt there is any actual technical reason, just profit/control. I mean, it’s Meta, would you really put it past them?

I don't know Zuckerberg, so I don't know his motivation, nor the executives of Meta. I haven't really read any of their work.

Profit and control fit the data points, but I suppose I could "put it past them" if a better model explained everything.
