Then Samsung would just use its own apps more than they already do. Banning payments doesn't get the outcome you're suggesting of a mandatory set of multiple apps from multiple companies.
- fasthands9 3y agoI suppose I mean the "banning defaults" would include Samsung itself here. Microsoft was stopped from playing favorite with its own Internet Explorer. Samsung is playing favorites here under both these scenarios (having itself as the default or having Google as the default)
- bad_user 3y ago> Microsoft was stopped from playing favorite with its own Internet Explorer. And how's that working out? Samsung doesn't have a monopoly with its Android devices, and doesn't stop alternative apps from being installed. Stopping device makers from installing whatever the hell they want, on the devices they produce, is nuts.
- ffgjgf1 3y agoI’m sure most normal people would be very happy if there were no default apps preinstalled on their new phones. Also where do you draw a line? e.g. can you have a preinstalled camera app (with custom features) or is that also not fair.
- kuchenbecker 3y agoI think exactly the opposite. No one cares. This is important because most people accept the default.
- ffgjgf1 3y agoTrue, that it was supposed to be sarcasm. But now that I’m reading it I did not really make it that clear..
