Eh, in the case of the Alexa stuff the bigger issue is more privacy with a touch of "Bezos' evil empire", rather than the actual functionality. It's not like Google Home is somehow inherently superior, or Alexa is massively overpriced for a more restrictive, dumbed down experience running on inferior hardware, like Apple is.
I see the Apple ecosystem as akin to paying twice as much to use outdated technology. It's objectively worse in most ways, but you pay more money. That said, I recognize that the ways in which it is objectively worse might not matter to you and thus it might be subjectively better than Android/PC/Nvidia Shield/Whatever... in which case, do you, but don't try to sell me on that junk, because it's a non-starter.

Sorry, I’m not going to pay $12 and sit through a 45 minute ad to watch your YouTube link. Nice try, loser!

Yeah, I wouldn't either, honestly. I'm vaguely aware when Apple does X new anti-consumer thing, like locking you out of one Apple product unless you own another Apple product to set it up, but I don't really pay much attention because I have no reason to care.
