"In all things legal, should we not get what we want? It’s only a matter of time before the free market attitude of Google creates an open forum for creativity

"In all things legal, should we not get what we want? It’s only a matter of time before the free market attitude of Google creates an open forum for creativity and gives the people what they’re asking for. I expect profits will follow."
While there will always be a proud happy class of tinkerer, I think more and more users want something that simply works without headaches. I've felt from the day the App Store happened that it was at least a moderate threat to our ideas of open computing and information sharing, but talk to nearly anyone, and what they want isn't necessarily more choices, more Freedom, or more control over their device. What they want is something that works and supports them, not something that requires their support.
Predicting profits from ideological lines is a dangerous game.
