I think the raised eyebrows are more due to the headline itself, specifically the words ‘calls out’, than this being a ‘news’ (not really) article appearing on iMore (most have come to terms with these kind of adverts and articles appearing on iMore long ago). Voicing an opinion that the home button was better isn’t the same as calling out (def: to criticize someone about something they have said or done and challenge them to explain it). In this case Trump criticised Cook, but didn’t challenge him to explain the removal. A more appropriate headline would have been “Trump criticises Cook for home button’s removal”.
You could say we’re being pedantic here, but nowadays quality journalism is essential and words mean a lot.
We don’t have these topics on AC...because for one there is more to talk about (more threads) and politics tends to create unnecessary tension and arguments. We also don’t have all of these posts advertising discounts on various semi-irrelevant products that we have here (e.g all of those ones along the lines of “30% off Anker Lightning cables etc”). Whether having political threads at the cost of spammy adverts in the form of threads is worth it is up to the guys in charge of AC...my opinion is it isn’t worth it.
