Subscription based apps and locked devices are the future. They've built the moat and now they'll withdraw the bridge. S/w industry will become just like any other, where cost of entry for an average person will be prohibitive. The big advantage of s/w was it was inherently a level playing field, but only in the abstract. When it meets the real world its just another rent-seeking industry.
