   Why do the Apple Apologists always try to sow FUD whenever functionality   
   exists everywhere but on iOS?   
      
   As you're aware, it's a classic fear-mongering move of the Apple Apologists   
   to sow FUD whenever a far superior product has tremendous power and   
   flexibility that iOS doesn't have.   
      
   Why?   
   Why do the Apple Apologists always try to sow FUD when confronted with   
   superior tools?   
      
   As a case in point, the fantastic 2-year-old New Pipe app, along with the   
   underlying "youtube-dl" YouTube-site-scraping code, was updated on   
   September 8th, to comply with unilateral changes in the YouTube web site   
   public API.   
      
      
   For those who have been living in a cave, this capability provides   
   *privacy* and *zero ads* and *downloading* of either *movies* or *audio*   
   from *any* video hosted on Youtube (and, for the youtube-dl app, far more   
   web sites).   
   - All sans Google spying   
   - All sans any login (even subscriptions are handled sans logging in)   
   - All sans visiting the web page and agreeing to unilateral TOS   
   etc.   
      
   Unfortunately for iOS users, as always, these powerful tools are available   
   on all other platforms (Linux, Windows, Mac, & Android) but iOS.   
      
   Hence, what is 100% sure to occur is that the Apple Apologists will attempt   
   to sow FUD, since they _hate_ the fact that everyone else has this power,   
   but them.   
      
   Why?
