(these kinds of apple interactions are indeed super frustrating)
I always assume this to be the case, Apple Ecosystem or not.
Apple is still the company that told people they were holding their phones wrong when they put their internal antenna right where 99% of the world holds their phone, or instead of creating a sustainable, easily replaceable batteries for their hardware, accelerated the rate of e-waste and just starting throttling down their older phones.

As Gladwell explains, Prego pasta sauces were losing market share in the 1980s to competitor Ragú, even though the product was much better, with the quality of the tomatoes, the combination of herbs and Prego sauce’s adherence to pasta clearly superior to Ragú’s.
At the time, Campbell Soups, which owned the Prego brand, asked Moskowitz to find the tomato sauce for pasta that would satisfy Americans. With a PhD from Harvard, Moskowitz had already worked for well known brands such as Pepsi and Nescafé and had also developed concepts such as the “sensory satisfaction sensation”, based on a commission from the US army to get soldiers to eat the (not very appetising) food provided to them during military operations in order to ensure resistance in battle.
After analysing the situation, expert Moskowitz asked Prego to develop a battery of different tomato-based pasta sauce prototypes, identified according to their sensory attributes: sweetness, garlic flavour, acidity, tomato flavour, consistency, visible solids… In total, 45 tomato sauces were created and Moskowitz took them on a tour of the United States, testing them on consumers from all over the country. The key to getting conclusive results in this research was about using sensory analysis to make the right choice of products for testing with consumers.
Each consumer tried ten small bowls of pasta with different spaghetti sauces and they then awarded each sauce with points. When analysing the data, Moskowitz saw that there was no preferred variety of spaghetti sauce, but that consumer taste could be classed into three groups: some liked the standard tomato sauce, others preferred the sauce with the spicy touch and, finally, there was a group that preferred a sauce with lots of vegetable chunks.
Realising that there was a large group of people who wanted more vegetable chunks in their tomato sauce was a real discovery, because there was no such product in supermarkets in the 1980s. One in three Americans wanted that kind of sauce and no company had attended to their needs. If Prego had undertaken traditional product testing, consumers would not have been able to express their desire for this variety, as it was not available in the market at the time.
Basically, if a product isn't something that's already widely available, people might love it but have absolutely no idea they love it (Jobs only got the first half of his sentence right)
It's a warning against companies drilling down on just putting out THE MOST POPULAR THING because people do want other things, your research just shows otherwise because it's only measuring against what's currently before the consumer

I don't use electronic devices because it supports capitalism
There used to be someone here that did not have a cell phone, and like was adamant they wouldn't get one. This was years ago though so who knows.
Back in 2007, I tried to refuse to get one since I was used to work paying for mine and my new job wasn't offering to pay.
My hold out lasted all of a couple of weeks when I messed up my friends movie plans cause they couldn't reach me. My bestie told me to just go get a fucking phone. I did. One month later my job gave me a brand new android to test and keep for work. I had two phones for a while, then dropped the private one. I haven't paid for phone service since. (Though I did have to start buying my own phone). Horray for IT jobs.

This is the only thing I will give Steve Jobs credit for. The customer is at best misguided, but usually they're stubborn and wrong and would rather cut off their own nose that adopt something better.

The throttling thing still being a thing for people shows just how badly they handled that, because apple was 100% in the right with what they did there and the vast majority of people never would have noticed the throttling... but they sure as shit would have noticed their phone spontaneously powering off when the older battery was no longer capable of supporting the full brunt of all cores running at max.
But running articles that talk about how apple actually prolonged the life of the device and kept it out of the repair shop or upgrade cycle by letting it work longer with older batteries isn't a catchy headline.

The solution is to not make phones that cannot be repaired by design.
I don't feel bad they got raked over the coals for it. It's a shitty, wasteful design choice (and to be fair it's not just Apple, but they arguably popularized it) and no company should be lauded for their designs which result in thousands of tons of waste in landfills yearly.
If they had allowed for easy battery replacement, the entire thing would have not happened.

I once had a lady insistently try to return a half empty gallon of milk that she had bought at Target, at the Wal-Mart I worked at
I was like "it says Target on it, right there, Archer Farms a product of Target"
She said "it's pronounced Tarjay, it's fancy milk"
the manager accepted her return and gave her $3 in store credit
