Or, you know, go to Android with 70%+ global market share.[1] If you really want to make a radio for Lamborghini's, but they say no, then you go to a different manufacturer. "oh but Lambo owners have so much spend/revenue per owner" doesn't really hold water.

I said it many times and I'll say it again: it's not a choice you get to make as a company or an individual that has a service that needs an app. If you're to have any semblance of success, you can't only have an Android app. As far as my personal preferences go, I use Android since 2011 and can't fathom switching to iOS.

Huh? Lamborghini does not forbid me from, or charge me a percentage to install my radio from an after market vendor, should I choose to.

  But Ferrari does forbid you from painting your own car: https://mashable.com/2014/08/30/ferrari-deadmau5-cease-and-desist/?europe=true https://mashable.com/2014/08/30/ferrari-deadmau5-cease-and-d...

    This is less weird that it might seem on the surface. If you've ever commissioned an expensive peiece of art there's usually a line in the contract that says something to the effect of "if the art is damaged, you will give $artist preference for repair" because if you get it shoddily fixed it looks bad on them.

    No, it didn't. One, it had no standing, nor contractual agreement (granted, a lawsuit can be a big weapon to wield). > Ferrari took the most offense to his custom badges and floor mats with Purrari logos And to look at that picture, you can see why, the logos were practically identical and arguable from a trademark infringement perspective. But he was not and was never prohibited from painting his car (and a cease and desist is not a prohibition).
