Yeah, that's fair, but unfortunately it has been a problem at times and also phones are a different world. The default expectation for phones is to be really heavily locked down.

I wish that it wasn't that way.

I'm still not going to bash the one major company that consistently comes the closest to being as open as I'd want. I'd love it to be better, but I also understand the real and legitimate reasons that it doesn't work out that way.

Try to put those concerns in direct conflict with openness and the outcome is likely to be the worst possible.
