The end user is completely toxic as a result of the App Store. I cannot buy books in Amazon's app, because Apple think they are entitled to rent seek on it. We've ended up in a word of crappy gambling simulators instead of sensibly priced paid software because Apple engineered the store that way.
The App Store is horrible for me, as a user.
- stalfosknight 5y agoI certainly don't want the App Store to become the more or less anything goes Google Play Store which is still riddled with malware and shovelware. One of the reasons why I enthusiastically continue to choose the Apple platform is that Apple has standards and gives an actual damn about the end user and having actual platform-wide standards and conventions instead of letting devs do whatever the hell they feel like à la Windows or Android.
