When it comes to updates, it's shifted in that direction in the last while. But updates are just one aspect, and with just about every other aspect, they're awful. Look at the way they fuck over independent repair shops. Look at the way they lock down their systems. And look at the way they make their devices as difficult as possible to repair. Then, look at the way they are pioneers at these practices. It used to be standard that you could install what you want on devices you bought and paid for. Apple was the company who drove the idea into the mainstream that the manufacturer could artificially restrict what you can install on your device. Same applies to having control over the OS. Same applies to the headphone jack. Same applies to repairability. They've been consistently spearheading the most destructive trends in the areas of user rights and environmental impact.
