Duopoly is not the same as "a finite number of platforms to choose". Duopoly means both companies can restrict the rights of users and stay in business, despite the users may not like them.
Yes, it does change something. I know many people who hate both companies, but choose Apple as a lesser evil. And yes, this is exactly not a 'real' kind of want.
Given that, and that the OP didn't say they like Apple, you cannot neglect a poosibility of them not wanting Apple.
This is a straight up fallacy. You are attempting to redefine want as like.
Want doesn’t imply like and you can want things that are available even if you’d prefer (or want even more) an option that isn’t. In fact this is always true of things we want.
It doesn’t invalidate the meaning of the word want.
Examples: “The prisoner wants to be released from solitary confinement back into general population.”, “Voters wanted a candidate who would reduce taxes.”, “Jack wants his father to beat up the bullies at school”.

At the same time, nothing in that definition contradicts my usage, too.
> And, the only person saying that Apple is a forced choice, is you. That isn’t a given.
This is a given. When you only have just two options, and one of them is openly anti-privacy, anti-consumer, it's clear that the other option is a forced choice. I am far from the first person to say that about Apple.
