Common EU W
As an American in my 30s it feels like it’s been a life time of L’s
Americans have way more disposable income (yes, even after accounting for healthcare expenses) on average than Europeans, so you’ve been taking that W every year, at least.
iphone 15 pro costs $1,333 in my EU country and my salary is much smaller, so its not all greener grass over here
Including sales tax, iPhone 15 Pro costs roughly $1,200 in my country, and pretty sure my larger salary doesn't make up for the extra costs we have with healthcare and way less time off work than you guys get. So the grass may still be greener on that side :)
So come over here in eastern Europe and work for less than $1,200 per month while housing is unaffordable with over 1000 EURO per square meter. But yey, you get an extra holiday or two per year.
You've grown up in one history's wealthiest and best off nations. Maybe it's time to get some perspective
How? Why would you value security vulnerabilities on your phone rather than having options?
Is macOS also full of "security vulnerabilities" because you are able to install third party apps? And how is having less choices in apps having more options?
Also sideloading is something that if you don't want to live with you just don't do it. It won't make your phone any less secure by having the option to do it.
