Is there a technical reason that Apple can't provide over-the-air updates for their devices?

That must really chafe your neckbeard. That Apple was the one to sweep in, in the wake of Microsoft's steady decline. That they have been the ones to really bring open source to the mainstream with a mixture of OSS and closed source code rather than this finally being the "year of Linux on the desktop".
They went and did what Linux was trying to do all along, and like a hipster standing at the side of the stage trying desperately not to look like you like anything mainstream, or proclaiming to anyone who you can grab onto to as they pass to get to the bar "I liked this before it was cool!" you're struggling to define yourself by what other people like.
