But, if you run a fruit and veg stall on the local market, you pay the local council for the pitch. Don't like it, set up in a lay-by by the side of the motorway out of town and see how much that affects your bottom line. Developers didn't build the software for Apple, they built it to sell to consumers and Apple provides them with a pitch on the market for a fee. It's how the world works. Don't like it, go make apps for Pine Phone.

>you pay the local council for the pitch Unless you're a huge corporation like Apple which can sidestep a lot of it. Either way tho it seems that analogy boils down to Apple having a monopoly-like position. >for a fee A high one propped up by a lack of competition. >Don't like it, go make apps for Pine Phone. Yeah I support some more push behind projects like that. In the meantime tho I don't think me or many others are going to suddenly love anticompetitive practices.
