It’s just marketing.
It’s like how a 7 or 8 out of 10 movie should mean it’s really great, but actually means it was just “ok”.
We like the idea that we are getting something above average, which ends up with a skewed idea of what average is.

Honestly, if it’s just a small, personal project, just use common sense and take some basic precautions (e.g. use a firewall, use NGINX instead of serving Wordpress directly, etc.).
Note that CloudFlare doesn’t protect you from everything either - it only provides some very specific services. A rudimentary level of caching images being the most common one a free account level would be able to use.
If the worst thing Apple ever did was sell some optional components no one needs to buy to use their core products for more than you think is reasonable, Apple would be a fantastic company.
I’m not shilling a mega corp, I’m calling out petty bullshit. You’re the one making Apple look good by complaining about petty bullshit. Find something real to complain about.
You certainly can use 3rd party chargers
Sure, if I didn’t have 100 compatible chargers already from a variety of other products, and wasn’t willing to purchase 3rd party products, I’d have to buy a $20 adapter from Apple.
Also, I just checked and the latest Pixel comes with a cable but not a brick, same as the iPhone. Also Google’s cheapest power brick is $25, so it’s actually worse than Apple.
Got any real complaints?
There’s plenty of real things to complain about Apple, no need to be petty like this.
Control screen customization I guess? Maybe the hiking thing? (But like there are already decent 3rd party apps for that…)
