None of these things is "illegal" -- that's the wrong word.
I'm not sure what people mean by using it in this context,
but I don't think there is a law against it.

Apple surely has no legal obligation to implement the feature we
would like to use, so there is no basis for a lawsuit against Apple.

This is why we urge people not to use the word "illegal" to say
that some way of using a program is considered invalid or not supported.
