Why would this be more likely to happen in the walled garden? The app stores actually have some sort of quality control and API-use restrictions. Desktop applications that you get outside of app stores can do literally anything, and you have no idea what's going on with them.
- superkuh 8y agoBecause phones (as most people use them) only have walled gardens and phones have a terrible culture of exploitation of their users through rent seeking models, microtransactions, and literally selling the user themselves. Native applications, that is, applications, have a long history of being able to do things without constant connections to the internet or any connection at all.
