Yeah but psychologically you have to pay ten more bills every month. Not everyone is on full auto pay. Even then, it’s annoying to have ten separate billing dates and such.
Also not to mention having to click ten different apps and manage which app has which show - it can quickly get annoying
As long as it’s not subscription and not over $50, and it’s a quality app, I tend to pay for it. I prefer quality and performance over quantity and free
There’s a ton of cool apps for productivity, time management, health, note taking, all in iOS due to iPad ecosystem. Apple pulled a smart one and democratized file extension monopolies by making App Store ecosystem relatively cheap for customers. This incentivized a ton of high quality lower cost apps that now all have their own file extensions on top of importing stuff like pdf and psd, and the iOS share menu has basically turned apps into Linux command line tools where you set up your own work flow chain. Apple has now positioned iOS libraries in next OS X to be importable into OS X, thus now all these iOS apps can be posted easily into OS X. Essentially, iOS has now liberated the user from .doc, .ppt, .xls, .psd dependencies and soon it will spread into OS X.
Linux has no such source of ample high quality apps that don’t cost hundreds of dollars in fees like in windows (office 365 and adobe, I’m looking at you)
Sticking to the apple ecosystem will essentially avoid this fiasco with relying on electron apps.
Basically i see three developer types right now: windows, apple, Linux for primary (personal and office). Sticking to apple allows you to sidestep this windows cluster f of expensive apps and shitty electron apps, and the Linux void of polished apps.
