It's my device. I should be able to whatever the hell I want with it.

If nobody makes the product you want, that is called a business opportunity.

I'll happily give it a try, if you can give me a small loan, say 100 million dollars.

I said it was a business opportunity. Not necessarily a business opportunity for you personally. But if a gap in the market did exist, it would be an opportunity for Microsoft, or Meta, or Dell, or... I hear Firefox wanted to build a phone...

So? There are TWO platforms to choose from. T.W.O.

Your argument ... isn't one.
