And that's why I rarely read/watch news. Usually the signal to noise ratio is a bit better on Reddit because I can avoid the worse subreddits, and I'm hoping lemmy will get there (e.g. I loved the /r/neural* series of subreddits).

This just smacks of stupid entitlement. Nobody is forcing you to buy the product and they're upfront about what you need to do to get one. I wish there were more hackable/open headsets at a reasonable price (I'm a Linux user, so open firmware is important to me), but they don't, so I'll wait until there is. If Apple wants a controlled experience, that's totally fine, I just won't buy it.
