What? They did not say it was Capitalism and greed? I am shocked! They are just trying to lock people in to their format and make them dependent on the company instead of an open source and universal format. | ||

How? Support for RAW formats is reasonably complete. I can hop between different editors without much, if any, hassle at all. Since getting my first DSLR in the early 00's, I have used (in no order) Photos, Bibble, Lightroom, Aperture, Capture One, Photoshop, Pixelmator, Photomator, Darkroom, On1, Raw Power, Nitro Photo, Luminar, Darktable and RawTherapee, all without fuss. Where is the lock in? | ||

The company literally makes the hardware... You choose which company you prefer and generally stick within that ecosystem. Almost everybody uses third party software to process the images anyway, so we aren't really "locked in" If anything maybe you'd have a point if you said they should open up the specs of the mount and lens/body communication, but the RAW format really just has near-zero impact in the real world |
