Funny, though let's not forget, Google and Microsoft are willing to pay merely for default placement on Apples devices. Here, users don't even get the choice to use an alternative.

Alternative for what? I don’t use default Microsoft for anything on Apple, or recall seeing anything Microsoft as a default choice.

Google was default search engine in Safari, but I changed that to DDG.

Alternative for the AI service provider.

I think you mean artists.

Gig workers are paid in peanuts and dreams.
