No one defended walled gardens. The conservation was about deprecating lesser used functions. Stop trying to use terms you don’t seem to understand.
No I explicitly called out their walled garden in my comment when I complained about them not putting effort into third party compatibility.
Their software engineers not writing a little extra code that can be copied and pasted onto every chip for literally nothing, results in millions of physical devices having to be mined out of the earth, melted and refined into raw materials, engineered and machined into parts and components, assembled into physical devices and tested for quality control, then shipped out to consumers.
Don't fucking start acting like the effort it takes for them to maintain software compatibility is a big fucking burden compared to what they make the rest of society do.
