No but it's not just going to a competitor's donut shop, it's losing your family group chat, cloud storage, apps you've paid for, integration with your laptop, tablet, earbuds, smart watch, etc, etc. Apple has on purpose (there are verified transcripts of execs talking about it) built a walled garden ecosystem that is incredibly hard to leave.


Yes, the other coffee shop doesn’t remember my name and my regular morning order. I’ll have to start afresh.

Seems to me the analogy holds.


You mean your existing shoes, pants, or shirt won't let you enter the other coffee shop, and the expensive coffee mug you bought at the old shop (which was the only place they would allow you to buy one) won't hold coffee from any other brand so you have to ditch that too. Now you're getting closer
