Surely the idea of open or free is always going to play better than closed, locked down and proprietary…? idk

  Hey, people view something as locked down and proprietary as the Apple ecosystem as a good thing, so not really sure about that.

    They just use different language. Vetted. Secure. Walled garden. And suddenly people are okay with it.

    It’s hard to know for sure why people opt for Apple products… It could be any number of things.
