Their job is to maximize shareholder profit. That is their only and one true job as CEOs. If you want a CEO that is not evil, look for companies that are not public even though they could be.

Imagine.... a 3+ day battery if the battery thickness would increase to make the back flat.

Thin phones are NOT the future, long battery life is.

I think there is a possibility to have a local client using Gmail, with a rule set to delete mails on Gmail as soon as they are synced locally. So in this case Gmail would be nothing more than a relay/proxy, while your mails would actually be offline.

Because 99.9% of population doesn't know what sideloading is, let alone where to find apps and how to sideload them. So, realistically, there isn't a need for it. Also, Google apps tend to be free with IAP, so no matter where the app comes from, it can still generate them revenue. On Apples side, their apps are mostly paid once upon purchase, so enabling sideloading would effectively cut revenue.

It's not that people ignore it, it's just that they don't really have an alternative. You can rent from Microsoft or Apple, or go the Linux way where you don't have the proper UX an average user needs and is accustomed to with Windows or macOS.

Yes, but can you play modern games on Linux the same as on Windows? Even with anti-cheat software?

Nothing a good class action lawsuit can't handle.

This is so wild to me... as a software engineer, if my software doesn't work 100% of the time as requested in the specification, it fails tests, doesn't get released and I get told to fix all issues before going live.

AI is basically another word for unrealiable software full of bugs.

Compared to..... San Francisco?

ProtonMail, with my own domain, so that I have full control over my online identity and Spotify. As a developer I don't need anything else, I can work just fine with freely available stuff.
