Apple is spending engineering resources every day to _prevent you_ from installing what you want on your own device. They're actively spending R&D money to fuck you over.

This just isn't true on the Mac- as noted, Linux installs fine. The same path is open to MS if they want to patch Windows to install on a Mac.

I want them to prevent me from installing things on my device. It's a feature that I intentionally pay for, not a bug.

Cool. Pay them extra for it and stop fucking the rest of us over.

I'm not following your comments here. How are Apple and I who are in agreement and in a mutually beneficial arrangement "fucking" you over when you're not part of the arrangement?

I don't know you nor do I have any say in what phone you buy, for example.
