At least in the old days I could put my car keys into the wash and they'd still work fine. I could go to the local hardware store and get convenient duplicates for almost no money. Losing your car keys in the old days was a very easy situation to remedy.

Meanwhile, if I'm out in public and a bad update bricks my phone (or cell coverage is down?) I can no longer use my car. The idea that consumers would hope for more entrenchment into the phone ecosystem is absolutely baffling.
