@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.

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.
