I wonder if Alan Browne realizes _how_ Apple attains that "smooth
integration" (which, pssst... comes at the expense of 24/7 tracking).

It's a tradeoff.

Nothing you like about the walled garden works unless you're logged into
Apple's mothership tracking servers every second of every moment of your
life.

If you're willing to pay that price - then you & Apple are a perfect match.

Me?
I tried _not_ constantly logging into Apple's mothership tracking servers.

Guess what happened!
