@adiwan in specifically the case of iMessage would requiring the user to have a registered Apple computer, phone, or tablet attached to their account not prevent something like this, as you’d still have to buy into the ecosystem to use it elsewhere?

@zeldatra Apple loves to Stockholm-syndrome their customers. Upgrading the hardware or even repair? No way! Soldered storage? Sure!
