You seem a bit dependent on a single provider. Maybe not putting your eggs in one basket might be better… Or two baskets, as it were, with eggs from the same chicken.

Apple is the only provider of Apple IDs. Other yhan that, I’m not sure what gave you the impression I’m dependent on a single provider?

I’ve been an Apple customer for 35 years. Had an Apple account as long as Apple has had such things. If Apple locked me out of my account today, I’d lose access to 14 years of app purchases on that account. That’s about it? No reason.

That means they are only depending on apple for the one thing only apple provides, which is app purchases on the Apple platform. Everything else they have locally or backed up somewhere else. It’s literally their point that they’re independent despite having used the platform for so long.

Not the apps that came with it or the infrastructure that supports providing those apps to devices or the devices upon which those apps or services run?

I’m still missing your point. I’ve got all my apps I’ve downloaded backed up, at least for macOS. iOS… easier to grab the older ones off a pirate repository once Apple stops listing them. Are you trying to say that everyone should be running Debian Stable without non-free on commodity x86 or RISC-V hardware with only open source hardware gerbers and no proprietary chips?

Nope. At this point, I see that nothing I say will matter. The die has been cast and it’s no longer worth trying. Enjoy your Apple ecosystem.

You do realize this happens to people on Android all the time as well, right? Google shuts down accounts for random inexplicable reasons all the time, and when that happens the user loses all of their apps purchased through Google’s store. What are you suggesting he do differently? Other than just…not have a smart phone or apps on it?

It’s cool to hate Apple though, and if you use Apple or like them then you’re a shill or something.
