Apple stops updating devices and their phones are locked down and their macs are only really supported by proprietary software eventually losing functionality artificially.

Yes other companies are immoral and anti consumer. At least some Android devices let you install custom software making them easily outlive locked down ones.

Every intel Mac lets you install Linux too. M1 is well on its way.

As for phones: Apple provides updates longer than any android manufacturer. In android phones you too have non unlocked bootloaders as well as proprietary firmware blobs without which operating the phone is near impossible.

So I see no Dimension in which Apple is the worst.

You keep playing this comparison game…

The iPhone is full of anti consumer patterns, it simply is, and no external factors excuse this.

Of course I am comparing. Op stated Apple is the worst offender which only has meaning in comparison.
