The apple walled garden works fairly well for us. We are not trying to destroy apple. We do not care about the minutia of apple's imarket, istock prices, isales statistics ... nor any other ibullshit.

 Exactly. Nothing I choose to do with a tablet or phone is limited by
being within a walled garden. For those, I just want them to work
reasonably well when they need to.

The pre-Galilean Pope decreed that the sun revolves around the earth.
There is nothing wrong with you thinking that the sun revolves around the
earth as long as it works for you, just as you seeming to be saying that
the infamous walled garden doesn't hinder your efforts with a tablet or
phone isn't wrong - as long as it works for you. But the fact you said it means you don't actually do anything with that
tablet or phone that Apple hasn't scripted for you because the walled
garden very much is debilitating if you did.
It's like someone who thinks the earth revolves around the moon isn't
actually ever going to get a spaceship to the moon thinking that way.
Because the number of rather useful things that everyone else can do but
which the walled garden prevents you from doing is absolutely astounding.
