You're right this is not like Microsoft in the 1990s. It's significantly worse than that. Microsoft, for all their faults, constantly championed developers on their platform. Just think of that Steve Balmer "Developers! Developers! Developers!" video.
Apple, on the other hand, consistently treats developers on its platform with nothing but disdain.

The consequence of Microsoft's fuck-the-user, go developer philosophy has been over a decade a pain for the users. That's why Dell and HP are giving away PCs under cost while giving up share, while Apple is growing and making a killing.
