I can also see how legislation would worsen the situation by eliminating incentives for people to use alternative mobile stores and operating systems.
"Why use another store, when Google and Apple are required by law to have all apps?"
- sgtfrankieboy 5y agoThe laws are about being able to provide alternative payment methods and stores. They aren't going to force Google and Apple to have all apps?
- anonymousab 5y agoI think there are a couple of different pieces of legislation, and the "allow multiple stores without discriminating" one is a bit more recent so they may not have seen that one yet.
