I am a software engineer with literally decades of experience, I was self hosting websites on personal Linux boxes via dynamic dns before it was cool, and I basically live in my terminal. I’m a proud NixOS user and I spend about as much time shelled in over SSH as I do not.
I use an iPhone because it’s a fucking phone, I use it to browse the web and make calls. I just need it to stay out of my way and not crash.
Maybe deciding that which phone someone uses needs to be a core part of their identity is the actual problem.
Android does all the same shit with your data but worse.
I could install GrapheneOS or whatever else but there’s tradeoffs around actual usability, reliability, etc there I’m not willing to make, especially considering I use my phone for my job. If you are good for you, but don’t assume people are idiots because they prioritize different things than you.
The dumbest of takes indeed.

So you’re saying you’re fine with the required Apple account, advertising, and data collection? That’s not getting in your way?
Being unable to use a browser that isn’t webkit/safari isn’t problematic?
Yes.

Would you care to enlighten us fools on what phone and OS you use and how we can be as great as you?
