Apple feels like the only big tech company that remotely cares about its users. Thank god they make the best computer and OS too.

I’m sure this will not be a popular take on HN however.

Android was originally enticing because of iOS locking everything down and controlling the ecosystem

"Best" is subjective. But "caring about their users"? Their response to RtR alone shows they care about their margins more than their users.

Precisely because it's your feelings, not objective observation.

No public company would care of their users, even remotely.

Indeed, during Jobs time it actually worked that way, but that time is long gone.

The OS is not nearly the best, just like laptops.

“But I want my freedom, I want to install whatever I want, bad Apple for locking down my devices away from me.”

They stay rather secure because of all these measures. But they’ll get dismantled, too. Because idiots push idiots in power to weaken Apple’s stance. Useful idiots is the right term.
