People hate on them because they are overpriced and they want complete control of your hardware and software.

You cannot repair or upgrade anything and you cannot install software they have not approved.

The experience takes a back seat to all of that. Never owned any Apple products and never will, unless the market or the EU puts sufficient pressure on them to cut out the bullshit.

Agree to disagree I suppose 🙂

reduces my loyalty to the platform

Why the fuck would you have any loyalty to Apple? They sure as shit don't have any loyalty to their customers. In fact they piss in the face of their customers and tell them it's raining.

Right? Bunch of suckers paying for services. Everything should be free. Everyone should work for me and expect nothing in return.

When was the last time you tried to run Linux? The last year has seen incredible progress on that front, thanks to Valve.

No one uses Wine for games anymore.

I switched about a year ago. Not because Linux got better, but because MS got worse.

I'm tired of Cortana. The fact that they try to force Edge onto my PC is absolutely infuriating. And I'm tired of these Windows updates constantly breaking my bug fixes. Never even tried W11 but I hear it's much worse (unsurprisingly).

They're a publicly-traded company, they have to prove it. And they have.

Yes what a bunch of dolts paying for the services they use instead of mooching off of others.

If you have people living in your mirrors at home, you have much bigger problems than I can help you with, sorry.
