    And the cult followers will foam from their mouths and defend that it’s better if you have less choice for some myth of security.

      I’d say the cult Apple haters are generally more toxic in their language and aggressive in gate-keeping.

          My reply was meant to bring attention to the behavior of some community members, not Apple the company. Sorry if there was a misunderstanding.

          Feel free to not buy Apple products if you don’t like them. It’s your choice and I really don’t care.

        “Cult Apple haters” is a goofy phrase and doesn’t exist. Maybe people who swear off / boycott Apple, but a cult? Goofy.

        Gate keeping by calling out BS and anti customer business practices? Interestingly definition of gate keeping you have.

          Absolutley! Even more “interesting-ly” than that straw-man of yours, friend! ;)

          FYI, calling out Apple’s anti-competitive bs is not at all a problem. In fact, many Apple users are plenty happy to do that themselves. The problem is with how haters behave toward the users of Apple products, rather than the company itself.
