> I understand your view, but the hilarious (or sad?) thing here is we are applauding a multi-trillion dollar company for the most basic functionality. This is like saying “this restaurant sucks, but hey, I am glad that I got at least something to eat!”
It's not so much as applauding Apple for providing basic features to their users, but as saying that unlike a lot of other companies, they do provide those features.
If things were _okay_ elsewhere, we wouldn't need Apple's ecosystem and they couldn't make billions with it.
Yes, they take as much advantage as possible of their position, but if they're where they are, its partly because nobody is providing what they do.
