And you generally have a shitty opinion of people and their ability to navigate technology.
As with most things, it’s generally a cost benefit of convenience versus effort. Anyone can learn anything or transition to something else if they’re willing to put the effort into it. It’s just that most people aren’t willing to put the effort into most technologies and that’s their prerogative.
Do you regularly buy apps that cost hundreds of dollars? A vast majority of apps are within the $1-$5 range. We’re talking about buying phones that are well into the high hundreds to thousands of dollars. That’s a drop in the purchase and operating cost of the device.
I’ve swapped between iOS and Android several times. There’s literally nothing stopping you from switching other than minor inconveniences.
You have a high opinion of the average idiot being able to navigate any of this. These are people that are confused by a two button mouse…

I work in IT man. The average person is incredibly tech illiterate.
You get paid to be at least competent at tech. Most people do not.
Unless there are apps you use regularly that cost a lot of money and you don’t want to pay for them again.

Same said for other ecosystems like windows, android, playstation, Xbox and so on… Not apples fault.
I made a switch to linux recently and some of my paid software works there too.
Most steam games, Matlab. Wine and proton make it possible to run many Windows applications
Not directly. However they sure have learned on how to capitalise on it.
Sure. I’m just explaining why it can be a problem if you want to switch.
