It's enough to make one want to switch to OpenBSD or Linux.

I think most of that guide would require roughly the same amount of work on Linux though (e.g. setting up firewalls, DNS, VPN, and FDE).

Are you kidding? You still have to do work, but a third party doesn't get to decide if you can boot and what image you boot.

> What is particularly worrying about this process is that it is a network-linked secure boot process where centralized external servers have the power to dictate what the device should boot.

This is an abomination.

Firstly, your quote is about iOS not macOS as far as I can tell, so the competitor here would be Android not OpenBSD.

Secondly, I interpreted your comment as “that list is long enough to make one want to switch to Linux”. I then stand by my comment that most of the suggestions on the list require at least the same amount of work on Linux. (Source: I’m a Linux user that has setup things like fscrypt, ufw, openvpn on my devices.)
