This is not the official reason according to Apple. Are you sure Alan,
Lorenz and Jolly Roger will approve of your conclusion?

I agree with you that I must have understood the removal of basic hardware
functionality wrong since Apple told us it's a 'courageous' innovation.

Just as Apple told us they locked us into the barbed-wire ringed walled
prison garden "for our safety", even as there is no safety to be found.

Likewise when Apple told us it's "green" to have to buy your own charger.

It's shocking that Apple's marketing doesn't quite line up with reality.
Do you think... noooo... no way.... could it possibly be that Apple lied?
