Alternatively, Apple prevented people from wasting their money on a feature that was about to be built into the OS.

  this falls in to the same category of reasoning (IMO) as "you're holding it wrong." - it doesn't answer the underlying issue (in this case - that apple's obviously being unreasonable to the developer) There are other ways to solve the "wasting their money" problem - offer refunds or similar (again, not at the expense of the developer)

  That's interesting because in later iOS versions apple actually started to allow replacement keyboard apps, including paid for ones. Remember, money "wasted" on apps is straight revenue for Apple. It's why they want to win the case against Epic (and by extension Netflix, Spotify, etc) so badly, because they get a sweet 15% on every purchase made at minimal cost.

  Lets remove firefox and opera from the app store too then, since there is already a built-in browser.

  So "Think different" is now "You can't handle the truth"?
