@fraggle So, you wish Apple to crack down on this... I have a different idea: Apple could just stop extorting manufacturers of accessories, then this would not happen either.
@julijane@fraggle Correct. Apple goes to great lengths to add proprietary software and hardware features.
Even the lightning port is just an inside out USB port.

Of course a hardware vendor will take the cheapest route, because Capitalism™️.
Apple aren't the only ones who artificially limit access to their bus or network using special chips, specs, etc.
Sounds like "the problem is Lightning", tbh.
