No it isn't.
That is capitalism and cut-throat business. These guys were foolish for getting so close to Apple when Apple could literally destroy their entire business by adding a single feature.
Protip: If your business is defined by a single feature, your strategy sucks.
- leoh 7y agoYou are missing my point. As you noted, it is in fact capitalism and it is in fact cut throat. Yet it is simultaneously cruel and misguided. There is nothing inherent in capitalism that says it must be cruel and cut-tnroat. The more it is used in a cruel way, however, the more people will distrust it and the more we are at risk of losing it.
- catalogia 7y agoIt's not cruel, but it is cut-throat? Isn't cut-throat cruel? You're using a different word to say the same thing.
