Try suggesting Apple and watch how quickly most Americans choose Apple over everything.
I'd bet most Americans would sooner sign away control of the entire US to Apple than allow the gov to break it up. They'd absolutely fight to maintain the walled gardens that force them to pay more for less
You ever heard of Plato's Cave?
Apple isn’t hoarding data like they are… in theory… But yes, Apple shouldn’t be in the TV business, nor half their other side quests.
We can totally disagree! 😁
That’s some pretty big generalizations you’re pushing there bud…
I said most! lol
People vote against their fellow Americans for lower taxes literally all the time. I'd be blowm away if they cared less about all the things they depend on Apple for. It's also pretty well known how Apple users poke fun at people that don't use iPhones at best and/or straight up refuse to be friends with them at worst.
I bet we'd have more success convincing Americans to vote to mandate that everyone use an iPhone than we would convincing them to break up Apple. Remember how Apple lied about the impact of using USB C - they would definitely say breaking them up would lead to a worse user experience and people would believe them
I don’t think the average person gives two shits. This sounds more like a personal Quixote vendetta.
