Sorry but that makes zero sense. Monopolies like these kill the free market, kill competition, kill innovation and by that they hurt the end-users and the whole economy. No one benefits from this current situation except Apple. That's why antitrust laws exist, to prevent exactly this type of behavior.
- rbrtl 6y agoI agree with you 75%. > No one benefits from this current situation except Apple. This isn't true. See top comment, but all the FAANGs and their smaller siblings benefit in the exact same way. The problem is systemic, and it starts with lobbying and disparity of legal standing between corporations and individuals.
- ivanhoe 6y agoI obviously (at least it was my intention) meant: "No one but big corps" (and I include their subsidiaries, sidekicks and wannabes into that). Countries don't, societies don't, not even science or economy, and especially not customers and makers.
