      Surely the idea of open or free is always going to play better than closed, locked down and proprietary…? idk

        Hey, people view something as locked down and proprietary as the Apple ecosystem as a good thing, so not really sure about that.

          It’s hard to know for sure why people opt for Apple products… It could be any number of things.
