- kls 14y agoRight I agree, defaulting to you don't know what you are doing and when you do, you will know how to shut this off is a good thing. A key part of Apple's success has to do with something Microsoft knew and did well back in the day, and that is he who has the development mind share wins. A lot of developers use Apple and if they lock it down entirely they will lose developers because most of us rely on some form of open tools which will not be available in the app store.
