"I’m not arguing that it’s anything other than ruthless competitiveness."
Seems more like an explanation of their motivations rather than a defense.

- ZeroGravitas 17y agoWho exactly required an explanation? We all know it was intended to mess with the competition. And if your explanation includes claiming, falsely, that all those affected were producing shitty apps then that's not an being an explainer, it's being an apologist.

(And of course, the resulting comment thread here is usually very helpful in parsing this kind of debate.) "We all know it was intended to mess with the competition" -- sure; but you wouldn't be here if you didn't want to go more in depth.
