More controlled by who?

Apple. They now gatekeep access rather than it being open to anyone with the money to hack the platform.

So, we should feel safe knowing that Apple is protecting us from the wrong governments and working with the right ones? Considering how attached they are to the Chinese market, one would be forgiven for assuming Apple too is motivated by money over ethical responsibility.

Better just apple than apple + hackers. Not ideal but incremental progress is still progress.

It will never be ideal while Apple's ethics are so soft. Let's help them do the right thing.
