I always wonder at the logic that leads the these kinds of statements. What alternate universe do people come from… without Apple?

I regularly see a similar attitude, most often here, that Microsoft and Azure don’t even exist.

Apple and Microsoft are imperfect, sure. But they do exist, and they’re perfectly viable options for … checks notes … billions upon billions of people.

Apple is not an alternative for my needs.

There is no Microsoft smartphone OS (and back when one existed, it was a piece of turd).

I know that there is are Linux smartphones. Unfortunately many apps I need do not support that.

Currently, my options are limited to Lineage OS. Graphene or e/OS may be a possibility once I switch cell phones again.

As much as I despise Google, that sentiment pales in comparison to my hatred and disgust for anything Apple. Having to use their awful laptops for work is enough annoyance.
