> - Android shepherds you into installing shedloads of apps you hardly ever use.

I disagree with you on this one but I could be in the minority. I have about 8 apps that I trust and that rarely change. I don't go looking for new apps to install and I resist attempts to use the app version of a website.

> Lisp shepherds you into building your own language

I see the propensity of developers to build DSLs in all languages. I think the act of programming shepards us into creating elaborate abstractions.

If you weren't being shepherded into installing apps, why are you resisting?

I could install apps on my old Nokia dumb phone, but I never resisted installing apps. It never really seemed like it was worth the trouble to install one.

I actually looked into it once, despite the system shepherding me away from installing apps.
