This is the core reason I'm so against these duopolies. I have a startup idea that I want to implement. I've done it on windows, and it's flawless. Should work on macOS too. But these mobile OS's don't provide the right API's to do it. Android offers access to do it in a half assed way, and the way to do it right is to do it the correct way, flawlessly. So I'm stuck in a limbo, I want to be the first and last to market, prepared for when these companies break up, the OS offers access to some API's I want, and capture the market. There may be little network effects to the idea. But it's going to be a big market for everyone, with plenty of competition if idiots offer the right API's. [edited it gave away a bit too revealing info]. Enough that I don't ever connect my development machine to the internet to make sure no source code ever leaves. My test users have asked me when will I offer a mobile app? The app needs mobile integration to make it work the way the idea was supposed to be. All OS's that the user uses, together. And, I have no response to their questions and the mails end up collecting dust. These fuckers ruin innovation for everyone and it makes me mad. If these companies don't get broken up with a competitive mobile OS landscape again, don't get mad when I jump ship and go with some OS Huawei makes if it offers the right way and gains adoption. If America wants competitiveness, innovation and a technological lead, it has work to do at home: Trust busting needs to happen fast.
