Why does FaceTime & iMessage require constant repetitive logging in,
while Google Voice, Safari, the App Store & iOS upgrades do not?
Despite multiple daily nagging by Apple to repeatedly confirm my Apple ID
on the Apple mothership tracking servers, I have refused for years

Eventually Apple locked me out, unilaterally, of Facetime & iMessage.
That's no loss whatsoever, but the experimental results are what matter.

Note that you're logged in which is shown by the fact you can update iOS.

However, you _must_ periodically log into other Apple mothership trackers.

An example of something similar to iMessage is Google Voice, which, let's be very clear, does NOT require us to do what Apple's iMessage requires of us.
Why is that?
