      It’s free because it’s free, not because you can’t seem to wrap your head around that fact. Or whatever pretzel branded maneuvering you’re trying to do to validate your position

      macOS is free. There’s really no way you can twist that to be untrue. Not without making stuff up.

      So what? That still doesn’t mean that macOS isn’t free.
