I mean yeah. The only reason anyone is surprised when apple pulls shit like this is because they're aggressively anti-consumer in their pricing and hardware design (parts pairing, poor reparability, etc.). People assume because they're so flagrantly anti-consumer with their hardware, they can afford to not be so anti-consumer with their software. This is wrong, of course. They're a publicly traded company, they'll milk their users for every cent they can.
