Given the slow drip of information from LastPass on this, they might not be pointing fingers because they don't have solid details yet. I mean they aren't even naming the media software that was affected which seems a much lower bar to clear than potentially which nation-state (if any) was involved.

Just get some of these. Problem solved.
There are two different markets at play. The smartphone market, which Apple does not have the majority marketshare. Then there is the ios app marketplace which Apple has 100% control over and uses their control to squash competitors.
How could Epic have continued to provide their software to iPhones after being removed from the app store?
And I can no more access the xBox live store to buy games for my Playstation than I can use Steam to buy games for my Switch than I can use the PSN store to buy games for my PC than I can use the Android play store to buy games for my iPhone. Nor do I get all of the games I bought on the Switch when I start up the Playstation, iPhone, or PC.
Several of those services (all?) allow you to purchase through someone other than directly through them. For instance several of my steam games came from humble bundles. Additionally, most people only have one phone. Ownership of multiple gaming platforms is common.
Your reasoning is about as sound as saying that Harry Potter is Star Wars. Sure at a superficial high level the story has similarities, but as soon as you look at any of the details you realize that they're actually quite different.
Except the app store controls 100% of the app marketplace on iPhones/iPads. And once you've bought into the ecosystem it's not as easy to navigate away. If you've purchased a bunch of apps on the app store, even if they exist on the play store you don't automatically gain those purchases when migrating.
This is also complicated by the fact that studies show apple users are more likely to make app purchases than android users.
You can't just simply dismiss the merits because of android having a larger adoption in the smartphone market as a whole.
You're looking at it wrong. It's not the smartphone market. It's in the iOS market that Apple is being anti competitive.
Couldn't they just send the ballots by registered mail to prevent this? If you're required to sign for the ballot, then someone can't just go around grabbing them out of mailboxes.
They tested with one single SMR disk and declare that this is fine? What happens if you introduce additional drives into the array? Replace the array one by one with SMR disks and take a look at the performance, then we'll talk about valid conclusions.

With pretty much every carrier doing away from the 2 year contract with higher service fees to subsidize your phone, it's little wonder people are holding on to their phones longer. It used to be you were dumb if you didn't upgrade your phone every 2 years because you didn't get a discount on service. Now that you get cheaper service but pay full price for the phone, it really takes a lot more for someone to need to upgrade.
The only issue now is that all phones don't have replaceable batteries. And with Apple realizing that offering cheap battery replacements extended the life of the phone and demolished their sales, you can bet that no one will offer user serviceable batteries unless forced to by legislation. If it's cost prohibitive to replace the battery, suddenly that new phone looks a lot more attractive.
By then they'll have gotten enough people to pay for the repair or buy new laptops to replace the broken ones. Then they'll acknowledge the flaw and offer a cheap repair for the other suckers they couldn't fleece.
You don't have to unlock the phone. Depending on the phone you probably have to enter your icloud or google account credentials in order to reset it, but that doesn't unlock the phone, just allows you to wipe it.
