But this isn't sacrificing your experience, you're free to keep using your Apple AirPods with the quality and reliability you'd expect from Apple. This just means other brands can create products with similar features to AirPods, and if they're not as good or reliable, well that's why you're paying Apple for theirs.

I see their point.

If Apple knew they would need to expand this feature past their gear, possible they’d never have implemented.

We may never know what stays unimplemented due to this.

(This is a neutral take - note I do not have a personal opinion formed in this “debate”.)

And this is EXACTLY why they need to open up more core access to their devices. So someone else can innovate.

  Why they need to be forced to, you mean?
  I'm not seeing an incentive structure for them to change being the only source of good workflows for their users - it's their whole thing "It just works" - regardless of if it's true in practice or not.

  If you want the "it just works" experience, you can still buy the Apple products though, that's not changing. You just also have the option to not do so.

  Indeed. They have shown (and keep showing via blatant malicious compliance) that they can’t be trusted to play fairly.
