They might be "cool with it", but only out of ignorance that there are better models. Your argument boils down to "might makes right".

- akerl_ 6y agoI am an informed user who is cool with commercial app stores. The response above, which you replied to, is pretty toxic and I don’t agree with the level of vitriol they seem to have, but please don’t paint with such a broad brush. Being cool with commercial ecosystems is not only a product of ignorance.
- fouric 6y agoI am a user, and programmer, informed about both the commercial app store models and package repositories. I am perfectly fine with commercial app stores - there's absolutely nothing wrong with the concept. Are Google and Apple's implementations of the concept bad? Yes. But it's not very difficult to separate out the traits of the implementations with the traits of the idea. Steam seems to be doing very well, and as a user of that platform, they are executing it pretty well.
- imwillofficial 6y ago"They might be "cool with it", but only out of ignorance that there are better models." Way to speak for everyone bud. Including me, I never said "might makes right" or anything like it. Perhaps you should work on your reading comprehension before trying to speak for others. My argument boils down to "Perfect is the enemy of good"
