I have never liked Apple and lately even less. F… US monopolies

    It makes sense, but you totally miss my point. To go with your analogy, my point is:

    • I’m not interested in playing cards

    That’s it.

    I don’t care how fascinating the technology is and how clever Apple are: they are not welcome to implement it on my device. I didn’t invite them to setup a card game and I expect them not to break into my house to setup a table.

      I wish, sadly that’s not how using non open source or open hardware devices work. You are running their software on their hardware with their limitations. It’s not a PC or SBC.

      Edit: if we were to stick to the card game analogy, it’d be more like playing the card game in a hotel, in a room that you rented, rather than at home.

        It’s funny how it feels like my money when I pay for the device at the cash register.

          And it should, unfortunately it’s not. Maybe right to repair and other laws will, hopefully, change that but for now, it’s bundling, part pairing and locks all the way down.
