Sadly, Apple is doing ARM CPUs for desktop/laptop PC incredibly well, and at a cheaper price than just about any competitor.
Before the Macbook Pro M1 I would've hard agreed with you, but this sentiment no longer goes with the current ARM PC's that they're selling.
Why would they add a “feature” that makes it look like files are deleted? That would only hurt their service.
Also, what virus here and there? It seems like their service hid files uploaded to it, not actually infect computers with anything. Am I missing something?
