That appreciation ought to be reciprocal though. Apple can't develop all the software users demand on their own. There hasn't been a lot of push-back on the 30% cut that Apple gets on app sales because that's easy to scope to the App Store. This same rigid structure doesn't make sense for a lot of subscription based businesses. That's Apple's prerogative, but we (the users) just lost Readability, and you can bet there will be a long line of other great apps that won't make it to the iOS platform because of that stance. I'm having a really hard time being thankful for that.
