So instead of 2 silos, you now have 3. How does that improve anything?
The whole point is to move away from this idea that developers are apple's "ecosystem", like cows in a cow farm. They are not cattle, but independent people with the right to compete in a fair market, much like how apple is competing in a fair market, which is provided by general market state regulations.
- jay_kyburz 5y agoWe might find that Epic chooses an open platform like Valve chose with the Steam Deck. But developer are free to just not develop apps for Apple. Or just run their app as a web page like I do.

Only on HN could you possibly find people arguing that an additional competitor entering the market somehow “reducing competition and not making anything better” while also arguing that attempting to use the legal system to destroy one of those competitors’ unique offerings to customers and force them to adopt the model of their competitor, leaving no customer choice for the curated-ecosystem model, is good and pro-competitive.
