I love the take from Valve engineers on their philosophy for the Steam devices:

We don’t block anyone from doing what they want to with their device. […] This is your device, your computer, you own it, you can mod it and extend it in any way.

Compare that to Apple’s stewardship where they decide what you can do with your devices. I’d love to be able to do more and experiment more, even if the experience would be far from polished and I might go back to a more regular setup. Wouldn’t it be exciting to:

• Run iPadOS on my iPhone with multi-tasking and driving an external display – like this post on reddit (via Craig Grannell)
• Run a desktop-class operating system on Vision Pro. The hardware is capable of it. It’s so strange that connecting even a lesser spec’ed Mac, let’s you do more.
• Create your own Apple Watch faces. I created a custom one for my wife’s Garmin watch as a little present, and it’s just lovely do be able to do that.
• Turn my AppleTV box into a tiny home server.

Apple makes incredibly capable hardware but what you can do with it is limited by Apple’s software: more “cap” than “ability”.
