Apples was and is still extremely anti-competitive and anti-consumers oriented.
Originally they focused on computers that could do more for less. They encouraged people to open them up and upgrade or mod them.
It wasn't till the 2000's that they started locking everything down.
The locking down started with the original MacIntosh (or actually with the Lisa I guess). ISTR they had at least one bit more open period after that, but those have always been the exception.
