but the real problem some of use have with Apple's behavior is the real underlying reasons they're doing this

I am reasonably sure that their main driver is profit which really means exploitation of people;

I consider their public arguments lies made up to cover up the fact that what they account for as profit comes from what are in the end some really ugly historical and traditional imperialistic (colonial, neocolonial, and occulted) practices

Just wondering if you've forgotten what site you're on.

This is YC which exists to build companies whose main driver will always be profit.

There are companies who have come out of YC who have main drivers other than profit.

Yeah. E.g. cashing out and leaving the business to bagholders.

that's not an example (exampli gratia)

that's the generalized pattern

Weird thing to comment on, especially as it definitely is an example of something that a company may be focused on, rather than making a profit.

> reasonably sure that their main driver is profit

As opposed to Beeper?

What phone do you use that does not have the same issue?

so buy/use something else?

I’m poorer for having read this unsubstantiated drivel.
