I wish Apple provided the MDM, rather than relying on a random consumer ecosystem of dodgy companies who all charge 3-18$ per machine per month, which is a lot.

Auth should be Apple Business Manager; image serving should be passive directories / cloud buckets.

I don’t think that’s bizarre at all, there’s a clear financial incentive for things to be this way. Apple can’t have normal people sharing a single device instead of buying one for each.

> Yes, but only if it's enrolled in MDM, bizarrely enough

In education or corporate settings, where account management is centralized, you want each person who uses an iPad to access their own files, email, etc.
