You can launch an app all you want, but I don’t use my phone… It’s likely not compatible with whatever app they present anyway… So now I have to buy a new phone every idk, 3 years or so to do a bit of ranting here and there?

Im fairly certain this is true everywhere, but your local laws should supercede any TOS.
