I will happily take the Wild West over Apple's bullshit.

"What's that? You want to send a text message? Well, we don't actually use SMS or MMS for that, we use a hot mess of MMS, IPV6 and literally-whatever-the-fuck-we-feel-like-at-the-moment to communicate between our devices and if it doesn't get to someone who doesn't use our devices, will that just proves their racial impurity."

"What's that? Your phone is intolerably slow after the latest update? That means your phone is too old to live. Buy another. They're only a thousand dollars now."

"What's that? Your phone can't make phone calls? It must be because you're holding it wrong. Okay, fucking fine, we'll ship you a goddamn rubber bumper but we want you to know you should feel bad."

"What's that? All your .tifs are now giant black squares? Well, you shouldn't be using .tifs. It's an ancient yukky format and it was either patch our shitty operating system against 'malicious tifs' or fuckin' rewrite your shit so that your data is gone and we all know how you'll fare in that discussion."

"What's that? you bought a Time Machine because we told you to and it only works on AFP and now we're deprecating AFP because we've decided that what we really need is a proprietary fucking file system so that we don't have to worry about your shit ever again? Wait, did you have a question?"

If you honestly think that Apple is innocent of "random fucking update schedules" and "manufacturers dicking with software" you either aren't paying attention or your iPhone still has it's magic unboxing cellophane on it.
