Buying Apple products is like buying permanent training wheels for bicycles. There are safeguards in place. The average consumer needs those safeguards. They are gullible, ignorant of technology, and they don’t want to learn.

As a household with multiple severs, a PiHole, and four self-built desktops… and iPhones, and iPad, and an ancient MacBook, you couldn’t be more correct. That person’s comment is insane.
I said “average consumer.” Not people who use the fediverse. I own Apple products. I also own Windows. My comment still stands despite offending other Apple users.

Heck, even on Linux systems the default is always to have just the official repositories enabled, with the exception of Flatpak which is quite sandboxed.
And who else Apple would trust to bare the default source than Apple themselfs?
But user must be able to choose otherwise if wants, period.

Making comments like this is a huge self-own. There are MacBook users whose software powers a good portion of your daily life.
