This is true on the iPhone, but I feel ownership of my Mac. It's just a unix box. I turned off tpm and have skhd and yabai installed, which is close enough to DWM/i3 for me. I wish they'd offer better out of box support for X, but this is honestly good enough

Hmm where do you get that from? I own a 2003 iMac G4 and do not feel Apple owning it 1%. And my latest iPhone can work without any Apple services if I choose so (I don't because they are actually great). If I am locked in the Apple eco-system it is by choice, not by design.

Really? I've never had a Mac, but I have all the other gadgets and I love them. Would it interrupt a running process to restart itself?

I've had Python scripts (ML, data analysis) running locally overnight on Windows, only to come back to a restarted computer. Not fun.
