Man it wasn't even anything crazy. It's just.
All my android devices have a syncthing service that... Syncs. Things. Between them and my PC/Homeserver.
Now, the only app for Syncthing I could find on the Apple App store was a paid app, but I was actually fine with that: It seems Apple stuff is made for rich people, and I had accepted that everything would be paid for.
Except.
When you use Syncthing on Android it just. Drops things into folders. Like a normal program on a normal computer. And other applications can just access that.
But nope, not here. Everything is in its own cage, and the user has exactly ZERO control over this (unlike, say, the likes of Flatpak on Linux, where it's just a matter of granting permission manually)
My comic book folder? I had to go through a cumbersome process to manually import all the cbr files into the comic reader app. Same for my video files.
Plus like. Just the lack of options in general. It felt like I was in an airport -- Stuck in an, admittedly nice, environment and only having access to whatever overpriced products existed inside that environment.
