Kevin,
For many many years (I am a grandfather), we had a telephone connected to wires on the wall.
That telephone was propriatory. The telephone exchanges that run small businesses are likewise.
Technology moves on. We must not stagnate. For an idea of changes.
My washing machine and dryer have bluetooth, and can transmit use and breakdown notification
Ditto for my kitchen oven, microware, dishwasher and refrigerator.
If I wanted, I could have a robotic vacuum cleaner. Set it in the room and it will traverse the floor,
learning to go around obsticles.
Car safety, automatic braking, side danger warnings, and even self driving are within the coming decade.
Is KDE going to stand still?
Regards
Leslie

That means you are dependent on proprietary applications ("apps") that
vendors decide to make available only for Android (and iOS, typically)
because it is easier to sell blobs or ship ad- and/or spyware-infected blobs
there.
You have to realize that proprietary cellphone apps are still proprietary
software, even if the abbreviation "apps" sounds fancier for some reason.
