Adding that I’m not saying anyone is a fool for jailbreaking. I think people should have that right. I was saying the fools are the ones who still expected Apple to support the jailbroken OS. To me, if you don’t like Apple’s walled garden on iOS and iPadOS devices, don’t use them.
A laptop is different. People use them from considerably more diverse reasons. Because of that they need to be more flexible.
Also, while all that may seem like BS from a consumer perspective, it’s not as much from a business perspective. If you disagree, take a look at how Apple’s doing these days. Whatever reason you think they’re doing well, they ARE doing quite well.
I agree that it's reasonable to refuse support to someone who breaks certain terms (i.e.
rm -rf /*... "pls help me apple support!")I also agree that actively working hard to prevent me from having root access to a device I buy is going too far.
