    Men work there, they have families and lives. You want to force them to offer “my sideloading”. That’s absolutely entitled thinking. Let free men make free choices and stop this au…

    The men who work at Apple would be coerced. Of course we are all coerced by the law in matters of morality, I.e. the 10 commandments. But you’re wanting to put “my sideloading” at …

    I’ll let you have the last comment and won’t comment after this, but you’re equating a company not providing the feature set you want with bullying. Especially when they’re multipl…

    Of course it’s their God given right. It shouldn’t be their right to violate God’s law, but “my totes fav phone provider totes doesn’t have side loading” is just entitled, and an u…

    Take your freedom? Is someone now forcing you to buy an iPhone, like you want to force Apple to make a product?

    No you’re not. No one forced you to buy a Mac.

    Someone offering a product they’re free to make and you’re free to buy is not coercion. Forcing a man to make the product you want is.

    MacOS offers others because Apple wants to. They could lock it down, they’re free to. But they would lose customers. But they’re free and you’re free.

    You bought that thing wide eyed as to its capabilities. Now you’re complaining and want to use coercion to get a feature. Yea it’s entitled and unnecessary. I can understand if App…

    What entitlement. Microsoft makes an OS, they can design it how they want. You can buy it if you want.

    Generally laws should protect negative rights, not enforce positive ones. I can’t think of a more entitled law than “my fav phone maker totes doesn’t have side loading”. What an eg…

    Men own and work at the business, so a useless distinction.

    Hah, I laughed at that one. Good one. Of course the needless regulation and coercion is forcing Apple to act.

    If Apple was so good that men voluntarily gave them 90% market share you’d call them a monopoly, though it was freely given. Now if they acted immorally, they ought to be reprimand…

    Maybe it won’t, but the larger point is that some are demanding freedom by coercing others to do their bidding. Let free men make free choices.

    The coercion is the problem. You are free to buy any phone you want, but want to coerce other men into doing what you want. It’s immoral.

    If Microsoft advertised and open system and then lied, that’s immoral. But they had no obligation to even allow other software to be installed.

    So you’re advocating freedom … by coercion? This is immoral. Besides immoral, obviously tons of apps would leave the App Store for a different store making it a much crappier exper…

    The entitlement here is unreal. “I should be free to coerce others into doing what I want”. Man, just buy an Android. Unreal.

    The entitlement is terrible on this site. “I should be free, but they should be coerced”. People can’t even see their own moral foibles.
