Isn't this like 90% of the reason people prefer android over apple?

I doubt most people care that much. I do, but I don't know anyone else who does.

But even if I were to lose this, I would not even consider switching to apple (but I would consider switching to something more open).

It is, yeah. It's like 100% of the reason for me. I'm gonna buy an iPhone later this year most likely.
