That’s my point. The term walled garden predates it being applied to Apple and now that it has, it’s become synonymous with anything Apple does is a walled garden and we ignoring other instances of walled gardens because they don’t meet all the criteria of Apple’s.

The original term for technology walled garden was more confining than what Apple does. The term would be more useful if it remained as technology that restricts the user’s agency.

It’s a funny how people claim Apple is a walled garden and not Microsoft when Apple never forces is update or upgrades.

It’s a statement against attempting to please toxic people.
