From a practical perspective, even using open source takes some time and effort. I suspect many people gravitate towards apple is because they nail the basics and have a great out of the box experience.

I’m against Apple in principle, but that doesn’t mean I didnt get an M1 air when I had to upgrade a year or something ago - it was simply the best in the market for the price at the time.

Also apple does not respect privacy nearly as much as they love to tout. Open source in general has a much better track record with privacy because of the people building the tools don’t have as much profit incentive or government oversight.

Edit: you’ll never catch me dead with an iPhone or iPad though, Apple’s mobile browsing experience has no ad block.
