Windows is a great example because Windows S mode does exactly what Google, Apple et al use as their excuse for their avaricious walled gardens. If you want a safe Windows machine, e.g. for business or for wobbly grandparents, that only installs verified apps from the Windows Store and refuses anything else, you can do a clean install in S mode and it will enforce exactly that. If you want to remove S mode and take your chances with everything else, it’s your machine, you paid for it, they don’t try to stop you doing it.
Absolutely no technical reason why Apple and Google can’t work on that principle. It’s all about shareholder returns and a corrupt government who won’t enforce their own antitrust laws.
