Apple feels like the only big tech company that remotely cares about its users. Thank god they make the best computer and OS too.

I’m sure this will not be a popular take on HN however.

"Best" is subjective. But "caring about their users"? Their response to RtR alone shows they care about their margins more than their users.

Apple care about their users like a farmer cares about a herd of dairy cows.

Whereas Microsoft and Google care about their users like a farmer cares about a herd of pigs.

“But I want my freedom, I want to install whatever I want, bad Apple for locking down my devices away from me.”

They stay rather secure because of all these measures. But they’ll get dismantled, too. Because idiots push idiots in power to weaken Apple’s stance. Useful idiots is the right term.
