Wrote books on Apple software. Bought five figures of gear over decades. Then bought an Apple giftcard, & suddenly permabanned in spite of raising issue with internal contacts.

I don’t think this is exclusive to Apple.

Sure, but this article is about apple, hence talking about apple.

I get that. I’m just saying that the sentence “this is the problem with apple ecosystem” isn’t accurate, since all mega corps behave the same.

... This is the problem with the apple ecosystem, though? It isn't a problem unique to the apple ecosystem (though apple is the worst about tying features and services into a single ID) but you realize you're doing a whattaboutism in defense of a megacorp right?

The topic here is apple, not google or M$ or samsung or etc, hence why I'm not discussing them. It doesn't devalue the other companies and their contributions to shitty business practices to not bring them up in every discussion about shitty business practices.
