It's more about Apple's rotten philosophy and hubris. Like how they pit teens against each other by artificially restricting their proprietary messaging system.
It's about the attitude. WE (Apple) gets to decide what how and where you use our products and services that you pay for. YOU (the paying user) will do as we say.
Also, what is with the fanboy defense of the richest corporation in the world? If they want to defend their shitty sales tactics they can afford to pay for it.
Literally every software developer makes decisions about what platforms to support and not, and when. This is not an Apple thing.
Also:
> Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents, and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken.
