I used to want to jailbreak and get maximum control over every device I owned. Now with the growth of cross-platform web services, and the improvements in devices, it doesn't feel as necessary as it once did with every device. Which is also convenient, because I have a ton of devices and it's easier when I don't have to remember/maintain the jailbroken state of ALL of them. :-)
I recently got an Ipad Mini, installed all my favorite cross-platform apps for reading books, secure messaging (Signal), news, email, music, note-taking, tv, cloud drive, others. And because I could so easily access all my existing data, the need to jailbreak is not high on the list. I can't use the Books store for now because I don't have access to a personal Mac to run the best (and currently only????) known Apple Books DeDRM tool, Tuneskit. But that's not a big loss, the other online ebook stores have everything I need. So yeah, they're a walled garden as are others, but it's more possible to live outside it now.
