    Unless there are apps you use regularly that cost a lot of money and you don’t want to pay for them again.

      Do you regularly buy apps that cost hundreds of dollars? A vast majority of apps are within the $1-$5 range. We’re talking about buying phones that are well into the high hundreds to thousands of dollars. That’s a drop in the purchase and operating cost of the device.

      Same said for other ecosystems like windows, android, playstation, Xbox and so on… Not apples fault.

        I made a switch to linux recently and some of my paid software works there too.

        Most steam games, Matlab. Wine and proton make it possible to run many Windows applications

        Not directly. However they sure have learned on how to capitalise on it.
