This is human nature, it's not related to source openness. Open source would just allow you to start over after you have been treated badly if you have the needed development skills (hello Mr. Drepper).
It's also worth noting that the users aren't getting screwed at all by Apple, only the developers and only a small fraction of them.
- philjackson 17y agoI don't get it. You don't have to "start over" you continue from where you left off. Only some members of the community need development skills. Secondly, users are harmed by these actions as there will be fewer developers making apps for them, plus, Apple are potentially stifling innovation.
- stcredzero 17y agoIt's on purpose. Apple willfully sacrifices innovation for control and UX. Users accept it for UX.
