Real question. I would like to know what drives you to hate Apple? (In terms of privacy of course because in terms of price it’s another story).

It begins with Apple's petty reasons to prohibit The Binding of Isaac from the Apple store.

I never heard of this, what happened?

Exactly as per the label in 2016, the biblical themes and involvement of children were too spicy for the App Store, and the folks in Apple weren't allowed to think outside their box, so it was rejected.

Even now, Apple is fighting gunpower and gelatine to sabotage all efforts to allow side-loads and stores they cannot control.
