It is indeed. And regulation is the answer here too. You can be annoyed at companies playing the game but if you want the rules changed then they aren’t going to do it themselves.

I want Linux on apple hardware the same as anyone else, but if I was in apples shoes my priority would be my OS on my hardware unless I had to comply.

I don’t care for alternative App Stores since I don’t want to deal with my family getting spyware. Shouldn’t I be allowed to vote this way?

Voting to have certain regulations and companies adhering to those regulations are two different things.

If you want to have alternate OS on your hardware, find a way to lobby or vote it into regulations. I would support it.

Apple doesn't invest in Linux support? "they are just maximizing profit as they should, go complain to your goverment".

DataDog does marketing to maximize profit: "Instant ick."

DataDog are being intentionally deceptive with their email subject lines. There is malice there, since the evidence is there.

Apple has no obligation at all to support Linux. There may be malice there but there is no proof. My point was that people apply malice to Apple with no proof.
