Really? I'd say Apple is the least nefarious. They sell products to customers, they do not sell customers' attention.

Depends what you value I guess, Apple has set so many terrible precedents for closed systems and walled-gardens.

You’re not wrong, but those same walled gardens keep corporations OUT as much as they keep you IN.

If you like your gardener, no big deal. But if you want azaleas and the gardener prefers daisies, ur out of luck.
