If the platforms continue to be a major source of income for many people, then those people need to petition their elected representatives to force the platforms open. The OS has to give you a choice of browser, so the smartphone should have to give you a choice of app store.
- ravenstine 3y agoMore and more people are doing their computing solely on smartphones, targeting one or two architectures is appealing to developers, and app stores are pretty much the only way in to that market. I do agree in that I personally wouldn't give mega corporations that much power over my livelihood.
