I find it hard to ascribe it all to "market forces" when it's also aided by legislation like the DMCA. Anyway if the EU Digital Markets act someday opens up App stores, we'll see _more_ market forces at play and can see exactly what consumers truly want.
- haswell 4y agoThese aren’t mutually exclusive though. There absolutely are forces that we should be worried about. My point is that despite these concerns, there are completely natural and understandable reasons for many of the trends we’re seeing that are unrelated to those concerns and don’t necessarily imply progression towards an environment hostile to general purpose computing.
