Seems to me an all-too-convient rationale to force devs to use the proprietary Metal framework directly.

  No... Sounds like a commonly enforced policy which is being enforced normally. Why would they really care about which gfx api they use?

    > Why would they really care about which gfx api they use? Same reason they refused to provide cross platform Vulkan to begin with. And it's not a good reason obviously.

    I thought apple in general follow this guideline unless you are one the big guys? Is that right or am I remembering this wrong?

  Seems to me you are into promoting conspiracy theories if they confirm your own world view, instead of withholding judgement until more information is available. The article omitted the critical detail about which private API was used. I have received one of those letters before and they should contain those details. The fact that the article omitted that information makes it sound like they want to start a controversy instead of admitting a library developer probably made an easily remedied mistake. They were hoping for low-information-high-opinion internet audience to drive traffic.
