> This is clickbait. Apple was sued by VirtnetX and forced to change how it works such that it relies on relay servers run by Apple. The author knows this, and knows that open sourcing a protocol that relies on Apple’s relay servers doesn’t make sense (because Apple’s not going to pay to run relay servers for third parties to use), so the only reason for this article to exist at all is to try to drum up outrage for pageviews. I hate to be one of those "you didn't read the article" types, but this is clearly discussed and possible solutions are mentioned in the article.
