Just because injustice is happening doesn't mean you keep letting it happen "just because it's happened in the past too". It's not a reason to not speak up against it. Speaking up against it and making everyone aware is the first step in seeking justice. Just keeping mum about it wouldn't change the status quo.

So it’s “injustice” that Apple is being “too consumed friendly”?

  Not sure how many times I have to repeat the same things, you keep circling back to same rhetoric again and again. Apple's app store is not a B2C business, it's B2B2C business. They are supposed to make sure the developers get a fair deal even if means the consumers don't get the best of experience.

    That’s not how “consumer protection” laws work.

Both these companies are not even monopolies in the countries they got sued in.

        What does that have to do with the US? Apple’s marketshare is basically non existent in India.

        If Apple gets attacked for this around the world, the change will come to the US. I’m looking forward to it because Apple is one of the most petty companies I’ve ever had the displeasure of being forced to deal with as a mobile software dev in the US where they have a huge market share.

        Right because the US usually falls in line with countries like India and Japan. Just look how we have modeled our health system and social safety net after Japan.

        Right, because that's exactly what I said. Apple won't want to have 5 different systems for 5 different regions of the world. They'll streamline everything into one app store model that works for everybody.
