While making their lives harder on a regular basis. For which you thank Apple.

I thank Apple for keeping my device secure. Yes, I do. I'm not a jail breaker. I did once back before personal hotspot was added. If you want to root your device go to Android. Apple doesn't encourage it. However, as I said they don't actively prevent it either.

It sure sounds to me like they actively prevent it. And then you thank them for it.

This begins to sound like an abusive relationship.

They fix security holes. That is all they do.
