Would you be surprised that your sports car uses a lot of fuel and get mad about it? It was sort of the deal when you bought it.

Apple isn't shy about its gatekeepy behaviour, and some people believe that it's why Apples ecosystem is subjectively nicer than the Microsoft one.

Some of us have watched it ratchet up since the 80’s, when there were no such restrictions. The fact that some people hit a threshold and decide to stop putting up with it isn’t surprising.

Indeed. For many of us it's a feature, not a bug.
