You said it. I've got no problems dropping 1200 on a phone when I know it doesn't have ads, yet that's slowly not the case with iPhones anymore. I've got a bunch of my own recordings on my laptop I want to listen to on my phone, yet the only solution Apple has is for me to subscribe to a paid service (Apple music/iTunes whatever) or use a USB cable and manually copy the music to my phone. Then when listening to said recordings on my phone, the music player tries to upsell me with Apple Music.
Or Apple TV+ - I've already got the subscription, yet half of the stuff it shows me on the front page is actually movies I still need to pay extra for, and you don't find out until you try to watch the movie in question.
