    It's designed as a question to elicit thoughtful discussion about why Apple locked us into a walled prison garden given Apple said it's for our safety.

    And yet, there is no safety.
    No better than Android anyway.

    So why did Apple lock us into the barbed-wire prison garden if it wasn't
    for our safety? That's the strategic question that needs to be pondered.
