It's proportional to market share. I think we both agree that such a move would be immoral for a monopolist (making developers stupid... stifling progress... blah blah). Assume it causes X amount of moral harm. Then someone with 50% market share would cause X/2 moral harm by the exact same mechanisms. 1% market share, X/100 moral harm. Think of it as voting for Hitler: less evil than being Hitler, but still evil.
- michael_dorfman 17y agoSorry, but I still don't see it. The owner of a store has a moral obligation to sell all possible goods in that store? If I have a grocery store, I need to sell every possible foodstuff? I'm not allowed to decide that I want to sell only Organic produce?
- stcredzero 17y agoThink of the company store in a little West Virginia mining town in the pre Union days. But the analogy actually supports your position: it's clear that there are other app stores out there.
