    Apple is actually pretty nice with how MacOS gets installed. Macs themselves have a recovery thing if you want to reinstall. If I remember correctly it is hardcoded with a version that came out before the device was released, but can automatically detect and verify a newer installed version.

    They get ya by tracking every last program you open, being hostile towards user choice, and charging you hundreds of dollars for $50 of storage.

        This is slightly different but that’s only because Apple has the monopolistic advantage of they made the device.
