No other common OS system vendor requires you to give up your privacy
just to get apps off the app store so that the device can do stuff.
Just Apple.
That's a fact.
That is not true. Google Services also requires a valid mobile number
for 2FA.

Now... Apple murders privacy again by requiring 2FA to prove I'm me.
So I give away my identity (again!) to Apple with a phone number that is
very personal and very validly only mine - and that satisfies Apple's
hunger to know everything there is to know about you that it can get.
Sigh... but it gets worse...
When I try to log into the App Store, I'm *required* to give Apple an
address which I did NOT have to give Apple to create the Apple ID.
Huh?
Why can't stupid Apple keep their own identifications in the same place?
But wait... there's more.
Now for this *second* ID on the iPad, I have to give Apple *more* private
information. It's not enough that they already know who I am.
Now they want to know *where I live*.
WTF.
Bastards.
But wait... you'd think the address can be completely bogus, right?
Nope...
It has to be a "valid" address.
Just to create an account on Apple's mainframe servers to get apps.
How do I know that?

That works. I get the app.
But why did I have to do those machinations?

That's a fact.
So why do you even have an iPad? There are Android tablets.

He has said many times he has all the operating systems.
That's why he knows so much about each of them.

Amazon requires a valid address to deliver :)

Amazon doesn't deliver for free so Amazon knows your credit card.
Your credit card requires your valid address as does the delivery.
Apple gives you apps for free so Apple doesn't need your credit card.
Amazon needs your valid address to deliver the product but only Apple requires a valid address just to deliver to you an app which is free.
Microsoft & Google don't require a valid address just to get free apps.

OH, and BTW, ONLY Apple requires anything because it is the ONLY
provider of App Store apps. The headline is a non-sequitur For God's sake!
