You’d have a point, except in the case of Operating Systems, one of the reasons I bailed on Mac was the reduction in customization of the desktop. They kept removing the colors in favor of a safe for business grayscale.
In the case of trucks, I’d rather have the same grill be used for 20 years so I can cheaply get a replacement from the junkyard if I need one. I’m so frustrated by the commercial options, I’m building a light duty 80’s C10 for my daily. Easy to work on, easy to fix, parts are cheap.
oh, I was never locked in the apple ecosystem. I genuinely liked the OS for a very long time, but avoided owning music on iTunes, using their office suite or owning any iOS device. I was already using linux full time on an ebay Macbook Pro while my desktop was a hackintosh. Dropping support for 32bit apps was the final straw.

Sounds like a positive move because of your individual choice as an end user. Now you’re not locked to the apple ecosystem.
