This kind of shocks me.
When you go through macintosh garden and look at all the software (there were tons) a hefty enough portion of it looks like the 80s'/90's equivalent of AppStore fart apps. "Porno" apps with interfaces and interactivity that could have been constructed in Powerpoint.
So that (gatekeeping) didn't work. And then they extended the life of all of that garbage with blue box.
