It was an issue with Wayland. Before that we had X11, where global shortcuts wasn't an issue.

    Apple phones used to have headphone jacks, removable batteries, and expandable memory.

    We didn't lost shortcuts to everything. It's only about global shortcuts, all other still work. And given the Wayland global shortcuts are now functional and officially supported, its not the same situation anymore. The difference to iPhones is, that you cannot do anything about it on iPhone. On Wayland however desktops environments such as KDE, GNOME and Hyperland could implement a custom variant (or the draft version of the portal) and have it functional; it was just not a standard.

    So no, the situation is not entirely comparable. We are not at mercy by one single company.

    Ahhh, blame it on Wayland. I see how it is.
