… then maybe the people should just get more informed.

I hear they also made crimes illegal. Problem fucking solved.

doesn’t benefit anyone

But it does? Some Apple users will try something else, and even if you aren’t one of the, these practices spread. When Apple gets away with something, others will follow. Android is also getting more locked down with each major release. Maybe you use a linux phone or none at all?

everyone is uninformed anyways and probably doesn’t even care?

The fact that this issue is being discussed by us here and meps/commissioners/etc. at Brussels is proof that not everyone is uninformed and don’t care.

What’s to gain by not regulating this? Do you want the world to collectively suffer from products that are artificially made worse? You can say that ignorant people deserve what they get, but do the others deserve to get dragged down to their level? Everyone should suffer because iphone users are dumb?
