This whole "Walled Gardens" approach reflects a mindset which is all about controlling the users, telling them what's good for their devices, when it's the right time to update, et…

Mostly to greener pasteurs like https://tildes.net , https://lobste.rs/ and quite a few here on hacker news too. I'm not quite sure if some may to moving to the "popular pasteurs" …
