If you demand that McDonalds burgers are not made with McDonalds ingredients, they will not obey. They will likely send you to another burger joint.

Most restaurants of any kind will not let you enter with your own drink or food, so your example can be made both ways.

You're not demanding customization of your iPhone before purchasing it: worse, you're demanding it after your purchase, even though there's no unclarity as to how an iPhone works.

I doubt that the people here have the same entitlement towards other businesses as they have towards Apple. Or at least I hope so.

I'm not demanding they customize it, though. I'm just demanding they don't artificially block customization.

So, like a normal burger. You keep adding weird demands into your analogies, because the straightforward burger analogy is "burger where if I take it home I can customize it at my leisure, no technology applied to make that effectively impossible", and there's no way to twist that desire into sounding unreasonable. The thing I want from Apple is a thing that almost every company already does.
