Why?
Steve Jobs was deeply anticompetitive
and anti user control since 1980 or older. Wozniak fought him to get the tiniest bits of user freedom into the Apple computer.
- ksec 5y agoHe and Scott Forstall were also the ones who fought for side loading in the initial iPhone. And was also aware of the business consequences, App Store was there to help selling more iPhone. It is now a rent seeking machine with absolute power over many trenches of our society and economy. I also think people often mistaken some of those design choices as anti user freedom. Where the results of those decision might seems that way, the starting point were different. Things like integrated hardware design. Steve was an empathic and also a hash person. People often seems to read everything as if he was an asshole and very little about his empathic side of stories.
