From Gruber:
> There you go. This is the result of Apple putting its own interests ahead of those of its users. It’s certainly not drastic (as it would be if Amazon had pulled the app from the store entirely), but in no way can it be argued that this is an improvement for users.
I think that says it all. If Gruber isn't even going to bother to try and defend it (or even play devil's advocate), then it's probably indefensible.

- thedragon4453 15y agoBecause it's not really defensible. The best you could say is that Apple stands to make money, which is good for Apple, but even that's not really true, since everyone is just pulling the buttons so they don't have to pay Apple.
