The one good thing I can say about apple is that they at least push back against this kind of bullshit, even if they only do so for marketing.

    The other side is that they'll also push back against good stuff for the consumer since everything they do is completely out of self interest.

    Your gonna have to back up that sort of statement. I'm not an apple fanboy, but I take security and privacy seriously, and they seem to really be on the consumers side in that regard. Please inform me how they push back against "good stuff" for the consumer

    Oh I don't know, starting or popularising the trend of gluing the phone together, removing the 3.5mm jack, not adopting the standardised method for post-sms communication (rcs vs imessage) to name a few.

    They are going to answer with some stupid reasoning like removing the 3.5mm jack.

    But truly Apple stance on right-to-repair really is their only non-defendable stance. And this is coming from an Apple fanboy.

    Don’t think you understand what objectively means.
