True. Apple devices are a lost cause for me, I don't even consider supporting them in my software. It doesn't even come up as an option in my head, I forget it exists. I'd never willfully have anything to do with their ecosystem, whether desktop or mobile. I wonder if eventually people like me refusing to support them will actually make a difference and force them to change, or if enough people will just continue to bow down to them and do what it takes to be on their devices that they can just keep their horrible practices going.

It’s a warning once that stops happening when you approve it. It’s not a big deal. Also happens on windows.

That is correct.

I find it inexplicable when people respond to a particular problem with a suggestion on which large platform/ecosystem someone should use instead, or avoid.

Switching ecosystems is nowhere near that trivial.

Ecosystem choices are dependent on content and tool investments, other devices owned, product groups, integrated technologies, network effects between people, between companies, customer relationships, existing phone payments, existing ecosystem familiarity and skills, on and on.

As for developers, they often need to be on the top 2-3 platforms to be a serious choice for customers.

Nothing wrong with highlighting different pros and cons of different ecosystems.

But a suggestion to switch ecosystems, without a very deep understanding of someone's particular situation, just isn't helpful advice.

And the hardware around it, that needs to be updated and managed.
