No, you definitely don't own Apple's developer portal or any related infrastructure. If you did, then you wouldn't have anything to complain about, you could just fix it.

And of course you don't own iOS -- were you under any impression otherwise?

I don't really understand this culture of buyers remorse. If you don't buy FOSS, you don't get FOSS.

So you’re saying if I buy a computer, I don’t own that computer?

This is what it is. I own this device in my pocket. I should be able to install, tinker, take apart, said device - granted voiding its warranty - without a company bricking the device intentionally or removing software from the device simply because I chose a p2p network over a centralized one.

Stop defending this. Once you sell something, it’s sold. It’s no longer yours. You may have made it, you may support it, but it’s no longer yours.
