But "If you don't like it, don't buy it", is opposed to "don't ban it", not "don't point out that its a bad product or (as in this case) point out that some feature or aspect of it is bad (which doesn't require the whole thing to be a bad product). Its hardly anti-libertarian to criticize a design decision.



The "design decision" was to protect fingerprint access, which is/was the whole security point of the feature. If any hack can override the security, what's it worth? If they can change the home button they can access your data.


You libertarians are only bugged by your ideological enemies. Your ideological friends get a free pass from the "free marke"t.
