I could never imagine playing defense for a trillion dollar company. “It works for me so I like it.” is a perfectly valid response, but you’re trying to somehow defend their horrible practice of a walled garden, a practice that creates huge amounts of e-waste.
No I explicitly called out their walled garden in my comment when I complained about them not putting effort into third party compatibility.
Their software engineers not writing a little extra code that can be copied and pasted onto every chip for literally nothing, results in millions of physical devices having to be mined out of the earth, melted and refined into raw materials, engineered and machined into parts and components, assembled into physical devices and tested for quality control, then shipped out to consumers.
Don’t fucking start acting like the effort it takes for them to maintain software compatibility is a big fucking burden compared to what they make the rest of society do.
So in your opinion, a trillion dollar company that made billions and billions in pure profit after all their salaries and costs, over the course of decades, can decide that they have no responsibility to reduce e-waste and everyone else in society should throw their stuff out and pay them more money?
And that’s ok to you? On a moral and ethical level?
How the honest fuck are you defending an excessively profitable company not supporting (and in several cases, explicitly going out of their way to break) third party accessories and forcing consumers to pay more money and generate more e-waste?
Or is your opinion is that you bought into the Apple ecosystem, so they can do no wrong?
Plug in a random USB C hub off Amazon that works with windows, Linux, android, raspberry pis, and windows laptops from 13 years ago and watch it not work on any Apple device because they do not and have never put any effort into compatibility.
Go outside, give your head a shake, and stop simping for trillion dollar corporations.
A little extra effort times “hundreds” of examples is a lot of extra effort…
Okay then. Thanks for your viewpoint.

No one defended walled gardens. The conservation was about deprecating lesser used functions. Stop trying to use terms you don’t seem to understand.

WTF are you smoking? I just pointed out my last laptop from them is 13 years old and still going strong. Show me another brand that lasts like that.
Let me be clear: FUCK OFF
