    I’ve paid for a few apps and I don’t want to find and/or pay for Android versions

      That’s exactly the lock-in. To be fair, Android are trying similarly to lock-in their users, but at least Google isnot locking their apps to one mobile OS, plus we still have F-droid and a lot more freedom and power over how to use our devices.

        This isn’t an example of lock-in by Apple though. Developers are free to develop android apps but most of the independent developers don’t because of the different android versions and manufacturers, at least initially.

        That is not a lock in though? It’s just personal preference to avoid paying double for apps.
