   Not new (2023), but this exemplifies Apple’s culture of arrogance and entitlement.

   By their logic, the local electric company “facilitates” a large portion of my Apple-device use. They should claim that they created the platform that lets Apple devices exist, and demand a third of their revenue.

   What about my ISP? Cellular provider? Router manufacturer? The wires in my walls? The pizza place down the street, for fueling my body as I type?

   Institutional delusion.
