    Apple locked down their shit way after home computers were a necessity. I’d argue it was the rollout of handheld devices that needed a home computer to fully work that made their walled garden viable.

    And Windows is the main player in home computer OSs. You can take issue with their choices, but it’s certainly functional. I’d argue Win11 is annoying, but not even in the top 3 least functional versions of Windows. I mean, I was there for Me, 8.0 and Vista.

    But yes, Apple successfully deployed a locked-down, closed space, and I’m curious about why people are ok with it. That they did it early is… a solid hypothesis, I suppose.
