This is a terrible take, like many other consumer blaming ones. Apple has a monopoly on its ecosystem, and oftentimes it’s not up to the individual consumer. That’s why we need a regulated market. Regulation is to blame here, or lack thereof.

It's always up to the user to quit the ecosystem. It's how much you're willing to leave behind that is the problem.

But I agree, regulation is necessary because capitalism naturally favors exploitation and amorality.

They like to pretend they are a monopoly, but they aren't. Desktop, laptop, tablet, phone, earphones, smartwatch, none of them have to be an iAnything. Products on rest of the market are more bang for buck and better products overall. Its the consumer fucking themselves over when they buy apple.
