"Who cares that participating in society requires a smartphone? There are so many options, and they're so cheap now."

"If you don't like Apple's locked down system, just buy an Android phone."

"If you don't like what Google is doing to Android, just fork the OS; it's open source!"

"It doesn't matter that banking and payment apps require a verified device. No real users have custom ROMs; just zealots and hackers."

"No, you can't just install whatever you want on your own device. What if someone gets tricked into disabling the four layers of protection and installing spyware? We have to protect them."

"Oh wow, I have to buy an expensive approved device that spies on me and doesn't let me run the software I want, in order to pay my rent? Who could have seen this coming?"

Do you understand why we get upset when people don't take our concerns seriously?
