It is anti-consumer. And yes many Android phones are anti-consumer too just not as bad as Apple yet.

I as the consumer want to have the option to do what I want with my device. I want to be able to root it, install software that isn't meant for it and even flash a completely different os.

It's a choice. Nobody has to do but should be able to if they want to. Taking this choice away is anti-consumer.

Gluing in a battery into a phone when there's no need to because it even has space left to make the old swapable ones possible is anti-consumer because you take the option away to change it without breaking your phone.
