Boiling frog syndrome. Enjoy your walled garden.

Hey, we don't need that negativity here. We need that negativity for the apple fan boys who'd die to buy the latest phone, than to re-use an old one.

Luckily they last a super long time with regular software updates and security patches!

Is it walled, though? What am I missing? I use Firefox now and then and don’t see anything other than uBlock origin that I’m missing out on (and I much prefer using NextDNS globally on my systems). In fact, I prefer a lot of the Safari extensions. Gotta love the “it just works” part of stock apps. Can’t say the same for Firefox…
