A good example of how Apple's App Store allows it to abuse its control over its platform to browbeat potential competitors: 1. Developer makes an app that Apple is interested in. 2. Apple tries to acquire said app. 3. Talks fail. 4. App updates suddenly face irrational "rejection" during app review process and are no longer allowed on the App Store unless developers "jump through a myriad of fiery hoops juggled by either incompetent, malicious, or overworked reviewers enabled by rules the company wrote itself that continually get interpreted in various weird ways". 5. Simultaneously, Apple allows scammy copy-cat apps to confuse users and drain revenue away from legitimate app.
