I don’t disagree with the main thrust of your position, but those examples for Apple are really poor ones, imo. Except for Measure, all of those are obviously features or default apps that a platform is going to offer. The fact that Apple didn’t have a reminders app at launch and then they added one later hardly means they ripped off “Todos”, which I’ve never even heard of. And Skype isn’t primarily an iOS app at all, which makes it a poor example of the phenomenon you’re describing. Also, Apple doesn’t make any money off those apps, so I’m really, really skeptical that they’re scanning the App Store for successful apps they can rip off.
