There are only two viable phone OSs and both have problems.
"Vote with your wallet" is a BS argument in such a duopoly, because people care about other stuff.

In my opinion it is perfectly fine for society to order a company to hypothetically limit you on this minor thing (and let's be frank: this is super minor), because opening up iOS would benefit companies, countries, economies and other users of phones.
Especially in the light of the only real complaint being that "there is a possibility of loss of security".
Apple have over a billion iPhones out there I believe, and your phrasing of "it's all of us vs just you" is really inappropriate - both from an argumentation perspective and probably a fact perspective too.
And the fact that people have iPhones doesn't invalidate my assertion, also it doesn't affect my right to an opinion.
No-one's saying you don't have a right to an opinion. Everyone has that right. It's bad faith to try and misrepresent what the person you're talking to is saying.

Someone said to me “Who are you to claim that my consumer desires are irrelevant?” so you’re wrong.
Why would you make up something like this? What's the benefit to you?
It's legitimately easier to just buy a UMPC with an LTE card and use VOIP than do that. That's how bad the situation is at this point.
I say this as someone who gets paid to work on open source and used PostMarketOS on my primary cell phone for years. Even technical people really only have two options right now.
And of course, recommendations for LTE modules would be appreciated. Ideally built in, but external modules are also good, all they really need is linux support.
