Big tech has always driven me mad with how they leverage their monoplies once they reach a certain size.
Why can't I swap cloud backends on the mobile platforms?
I shouldnt need a gmail/icloud account to setup an android/ios device. Open those api's and let me use another hosted service or host my own.
After a device becomes unsupported release the unlock codes or whatever. At that point it becomes a security hazard anyway. I should be able to create custom roms/software to keep using it if I want.
