And this is half of the reason I abandoned the Apple devices. This and the walled garden and ever lowering quality of the software.
Did you abandon steam?
AnAl.
Tim Cook stealing money.
You mean Tim Crook?
How much does Google take?
Not much, just your dignity
Very nice
Hahaha, I always chuckle when I see people online parrot PR copytext about how Apple cares [about digital privacy]. Just read their privacy policy…
Nonsense, and their reasoning is bullshit as well. They still allow Grok and X on their App stores, Apps spreading CSAM, AI slop and false information.
Oh and the rigorous review system to keep Apps safe? Low paid kids that didn’t make it in the customer service department. 0 technical knowledge required, but reviewing code.
Can’t wait till we live in a time where we have good alternatives to the Apple and Android store.
Ones that people actually useIt’s a chicken and egg problem.
There are alternatives:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairphone (supports Ubuntu Touch in addition to non-google Android distros).
I am going to keep my Samsung for banking and government apps (it has the latest Android ver, so it will work at least for a few more years), but I am planning to switch to Jolla once it is released. I also think Euro government will eventually realize that they need to move off Android/iOS.
There’s also Volla Phone, with Ubuntu Touch or Android (as well as dual boot IIRC)
I’d love if they had GraphineOS
