I do not understand all the rage, Apple does not provide any vital services or products. They can charge anything they want. If you don't like it then don't buy it.
but you still lock yourself in their offer space when you also bought devices that kind of depend on those services: music streaming for the homepod, fitness+ for watch, cloud storage for iphone photos...
every time you switch from apple to a third party, it's ever so slightly less convenient, and they probably conceive their products around that notion.
Yes you have to decide if the cost of the convenience is worth the lock in and price of Apple products. At the end of the day you still have a choice.
