The smartphone has replaced the home computer for most people. Period.
Them being locked down is a profiteering and rent seeking strategy - not a user experience one. It SHOULD be open, and we're feeling the effects when that's not the case.

My worldview is just fine - I get frustrated when people know they're wrong and decide to play stupid instead of rethinking their reasoning.
A smartphone is not a washing machine, it's a personal computer. If you want to debate that that's fine - I don't really care if you're wrong, just know that pretty much nobody will agree with you.
