That's a bad-faith comparison, and it's making me wonder how old you are if you're conflating iCloud lockout with sexual assault.
Apple's EULA, which the OP agreed to, gives them the right to suspend services for whatever reason they want. You're only allowed to use the service by offering consent to be removed, thousands of services work that way.
OSS, and the fact that it doesn't have this weakness, is orthogonal to the "us vs them" dichotomy you're describing. Apple ID is flawed, do not trust it. Full stop.
I would love to feel sorry, but seems you’re technically capable of preventing this (unlike most people), just chose “convenience.”
Well, this is the downside of “convenience.”
If you manage to recover your belongings, I hope you stop preaching around how living in a normal apartment in society is good and everyone should accept the risk of home invasion instead of living in an underground bunker with biometric access controls and armed security.
living in an apartment sucks for security. You can't really own a gun and practice castle doctrine. Your landlord has a key to your home and can lock you out at any time, or can go through your mail.
There are other options like living in your own property, living in an RV, etc. that are better if you are worried about security.
If I was living in an apartment, I wouldn't be stashing all of my money under my mattress. I wouldn't run a business out of my apartment such that I would lose all of my equipment if I got evicted.
Similarly, I wouldn't do anything of importance on an apple computer. I wouldn't stash cryptocurrency on it, I wouldn't save my bank account details on it, I wouldn't run an important business that depends on their platforms. Because you're just renting and your lord can change the keys tomorrow.

> Looks like you've got it coming, sweetie, you knew what you were dressing when going to the neighborhood :wink-emoji:
God, I'm all for OSS and try to use it/promote it wherever I can, but it attracts the worst kind of smug, obnoxious motherf**ers imaginable.
How old are you?

How about: you live in that apartment (your Apple ID), but keep your important stuff somewhere else?
Or do you simply have all your money as cash at home?
