These companies that have products in multiple markets are after lock-in of their users by any means necessary. If they block me for anything, I couldn’t care less. I have some apps purchased for Android but I stopped using Android for now. I don’t even use Google’s Search anymore. I use Docs at times but I regularly back them up automatically. My Google and Microsoft accounts are basically unused. I have an iPhone but I’ll be damned if I’ll let Apple dictate my web browser therefore I use Firefox and apps that play along with it. I have a Spotify account but I regularly buy the music I like. I buy DRM-free audio books from Downpour. I also don’t buy DRM-ed books or other products, e.g. For notes I use Evernote, but investigating Standard Notes. my email, calendar and contacts are at FastMail with my own domain, cloud storage is at Dropbox but looking to migrate to pCloud (after their recent fiasco). Put your eggs in multiple baskets, preferably the smaller players (but not too small, as that might mean incompetent).Į.g.
The takeaway for the rest of us is that you should never depend so much on one big company.
