You already paid for the hardware, it is yours. If apple sold it to you for a loss and expects you to give them more money through their ecosystem, that's their mistake.

Software is not part of the hardware, it can always be replaced. It can be made difficult, but as the console jailbreaking community will show you, never impossible.

There are people who have installed linux and run steam games on playstation 4 hardware, even.

Im glad my understanding was flawed and all of you could helpfully correct that :) thanks internet pal
