@stroughtonsmith This is a non-trolling reply (really). I support people in the EU's right to not be forced to pay Apple via either AppStore commissions or via the CTF. I really do. Get apps from alt stores with no fees to Apple. But then I also support Apple not shipping (certain?) features to the EU. You buy your iPhone and get what's on it at that time. Nothing more. No OS updates, new features, new APIs. Cut off iMessage. Cut off iCloud/CloudKit. Hide my Email. Private Relay. Etc. 1/2

@dmitriid @stroughtonsmith No sark, did you read both parts of my reply? I FIRMLY support EU residents (and in fact, anyone worldwide -- wish Apple would give this option everywhere!) to get Apps from Alt Stores, devs to pay no CTF, sideloading, etc. I.e. use your device free from any fees to Apple. But then you also don't get ANYTHING from Apple that costs them money to develop/support/maintain/distribute, etc. (See examples in my 2 posts). No-one has a right to Apple services for free forever.
