Why would Apple let other companies use their servers and infrastructure ?
Have you ever heard of an independent car repair shop being allowed access to the manufacturer’s factory floor ? How about factory floors of all car manufacturers? It makes no sense. How about I go use your home’s toilet when I’m nearby?
- maven29 3y agoWhile we're at it, let's outlaw web search as well. Clearly, those indexing bots are not paying customers. If a niche enthusiast crowd worth of traffic will absolutely obliterate the underlying infrastructure, allow unchecked flows of spam and undermine the security posture, maybe Apple should just leave it to the telcos who might be marginally more competent.

- justinclift 3y ago> Have you ever heard of an independent car repair shop being allowed access to the manufacturer’s factory floor ? Car manufacturers used to publish detailed (technical) manuals for all of their cars exactly so mechanics (owners, repair shops, etc) could work on their vehicles. In modern times though, manufacturers seem to be DRM-ing (and similar) as much as they can in order to capture the repair business for themselves. It's not a good look. :(
- ryanjshaw 3y agoIt's almost as absurd as a telephone company letting a competing telephone company route phone calls over THEIR wires to THEIR customers, isn't it?
- mrcode007 3y agoYeah. Especially for free without peering charges like the ones ISPs charge so you can get internet Remember the days when you had to pay per text message? https://www.fcc.gov/general/tariffs-0 https://www.fcc.gov/general/tariffs-0
