    It’s not whataboutism - it’s a valid comparison of platforms in their space. Stop acting like your hate about Apple is valid and grow up.

      It is, phones are computers and should be open like they are, you can only game on videogames, at most watch netflix too.

        Consoles are all x86 hardware there is literally no reason you can’t run a full OS on them… except the manufacturers lock them down with firmware.

        Are you going to argue that locking down the firmware and preventing side-loading of apps and operating systems on all consoles should be banned?

      People are stating as if it is the same issue, while I made a point in everything past the first sentence why it might not be a valid comparison. Also, people are not making comparisons, they just drop words along the lines of “x company also does that”.

      Ps. I don’t hate Apple (I have been using their stuff most of my digital life), I just don’t cult around a behemoth of a company pretending they have my best interests.
