One reason I'll never own an apple device, and prefer buying more expensive more open competition. Its just a red line - I own the device by law, if you bend backwards to prevent me from using it via ways that it supports by principle, your product doesn't exist for me.

You are not Apple's target audience, and there is nothing wrong with that.

The problem is that because fleecing dummies is so profitable, it encourages the same scummy behavior by other companies.

Calling an extremely broad user segment dummies is unreasonably condescending.

Did I say they were all dummies?

You said there's nothing wrong with how Apple exploits their target market.

Scummy behavior being normalized is what's wrong with it.
