Considering this is Lemmy, there's about 70% chance the person who wrote this also complains in other threads about how Google and Apple take control from the user in their platforms and remove oldschool features like file management.

No, I complain about Google and Apple being proprietary. That alone is a deal breaker for me so I really don't give a shit about them not having file management or whatever other old school feature. And if a sufficiently rigorous security model must take away old school file management in favour of a more restrictive system, so be it, as long as it's open source and publicly auditable. If you're relying on a proprietary operating system, literally none of that matters because your root of trust is inherently untrustworthy. The operating system itself can (and have been shown again and again and again to do) include malware that can never be removed and you can never be sure it doesn't.
