I was gonna say. Complaining about Apple not working well (or at all) with 3rd party hardware and software has always been an exercise in futility. Like since the late 1980's, always.
Long ago they positioned themselves as a premium brand with an image to maintain. Can't let the plebs skate by with cheap add-ons.
You see, people keep complaining about Apple software, and defend their lock-in and lock-out practices at the same time. I just can't help but point out the options. Less futile than pointlessly complaining.
