So your saying having a tightly integrated software ecosystem, communicating between laptops, phones and other devices, means compulsory updates, while also contradicting that by mentioning how apple doesn’t have compulsory updates?
That’s my point. The term walled garden predates it being applied to Apple and now that it has, it’s become synonymous with anything Apple does is a walled garden and we ignoring other instances of walled gardens because they don’t meet all the criteria of Apple’s.
The original term for technology walled garden was more confining than what Apple does. The term would be more useful if it remained as technology that restricts the user’s agency.
I just researched on that and it makes much more sense now. now that I think of it, walled garden seems to fit better with the original definition rather than the new one.
