Take Brew and any container runtime away from all developer's laptops. See how useful they are for development when compared to the more open competition.
Apple is entirely comfortable with using crypto to lock down its platforms when the competition is dead and users are left with no other choice.
It's hypothetical. The problem is that the reverse argument is also unsubstantiated.
