You've explained the subtext of the article. Which means the article did need to be written.
The author suggesting that indicates a total lack of comprehension to Apple’s plan and purpose/intention.
Calling for people to ask Apple to change this is like politely asking Opioid manufacturers to stop killing people. It’s profit. It has nothing to do with what’s best for the consumer.
My main point of the comment was not to explain the subtext of the article. It was to explain that the article just didn’t need to be written, and won’t change anything.
