There are no closed-ecosystem alternatives!! However there are thousands of alternatives to Apple. It is don’t like don’t buy, as literally NO ONE NOR ANY SITUATION FORCES YOU TO BUY AN iPhone. You need a PHONE, not an iPhone.

Also in what world does Apple have half the market?

Any Android phone is closed-ecosystem if you don’t enable sideloading.

Nice! So you have plenty of choice if you don’t like where it goes with Apple.

That’s correct, so there’s no issue with someone enforcing Apple to make changes, because you can always switch to something else?

> Also in what world does Apple have half the market?

In a world called US, Canada and good chunk of Europe.
