It’s their walled garden, which they control and were they get to do whatever the fuck they want.
Never, ever jump into a tech stack which is a walled garden, because sooner or later you’re almost certainly going to get shafted by those who control it. This applies just as much as a tech consumer as it does as a tech professional.

While I agree, the average person doesn’t consider things like this (even though they should), and we should avoid getting close to victim blaming.

The amount of companies that I’ve seen dive face-first into walled gardens because “they wouldn’t screw us over, we’re paying customers!” is mindblowing. 2 years later, and those same CHUDs have and are yelling at me because prices have gone through the roof, and there’s no way to get out of the stack without a complete redesign. How do the idiots that make these decisions keep failing upwards?
