Love seeing love for Linux, but my Macs have never once complained about me using Firefox. Safari is there if I want an objectively worse Internet that does a couple things Firefox does via paid extensions but are free in Firefox. But if I use Firefox, macOS does not care.
I think the lesson is, as long as you’re not choosing Windows, you are choosing well. If you have to use Windows at work, that’s fine. So do I. But you don’t have to use it at home too.
Apple stuff only works well with other Apple stuff
They are also very antirepair
Apple users are already locked into the whole vertical stack. The friction in that ecosystem comes from trying to use other hardware. Every design choice in the ecosystem serves to keep users corralled. They aren't installing apps from outside the app store because Apple ensured that the thought never occurs to them in the first place. The tech stack of an Apple user is a continuous, gapless monolith made of glass and brushed aluminum. Unblemished by third-party vendors, it keeps them safe, serves their every need, just works and has "designed by Apple in California" stamped on the bottom. The Apple devotees even think they're unique and "creative". They freely open up their wallets for that feeling. They would gleefully volunteer to get fucked sideways with a MacBook Air™️ -- as long as it will be Apple doing the fucking.
Meanwhile, in Redmond, Microsoft roots around desperately in the same bag of dirty tricks they've been using for decades looking for something, anything, that will give them a fraction of that brand cohesion and devotion from users. They continue to not get it, it will continue to not solve their perpetual identity crisis, and half their user base will still not even know what their browser is called.
Disagree. Apple is another evil. Period. They might be better than Microsoft, but thatvdoes not make them good in any way.
