IOS is a good platform because it forces large app developers that the users have no leverage over to behave. Now that is gone, unfortunately.

"No leverage"? What does that mean? I can choose not to install their apps. That's all the "leverage" I'm entitled to.

Why? Up until now I was entitled to choose a strong platform that forced the developers to play nicely. Now I lost that so indeed as you're saying, not using the app is my only choice.

But that's bad, I want the strong platform back. I left Android just few years ago precisely because I liked the guarantees of the iOS platform - now it's going to be just another shitty privacy nightmare like the hellscape of Android I left.

I don't understand why people can't just buy an Android if that's what they like.
