Ok so you agree that Sony shouldn’t have to let you install and play anything you want on their console, but Apple needs to be different because…….reasons? Reasons that you can’t articulate.
You missed some sarcasm in there. Once I buy a device, I can wipe it clean, remove any bloat application, load my own code, or side load my friends’ shitty home made game. It’s my device, not apples’. Especially when the device is like 2k€. Apple is responsible for their firmware, so device must run and work for me when I factory reset it. Factory code must be consumer friendly (In reality it’s a tracker and an ad peddler). Loosing guarantee is ok if I phisically modify the device.
You can try to do all that, sure - but Apple don’t have to enable you to do it, and they damn sure well don’t have to write software specifically so you can do it.
It’s your hardware, but you bought it with any restrictions they put on it and you’re under no entitlement for them to remove them.
You are just describing current landscape of corporate greed. So it’s my expensive device, running their telemetry and being a subject of their forced updates putting more and more restrictions and subscriptions on it’s use while they sell data on the side? All that and I can’t play a shitty but popular game on it? Sounds fun. (sarcasm again…) And no, I will not subscribe to the corporate shill mentality so stop trying.
