I love that Apple is inconveniencing people that tries to skirt around their ecosystem built to protect them.

    Who hosts your apps for download and world wide distribution? Also the infrastructure for payments from buyer to you and in app purchase/ refunds, security? Just tip of the iceberg, I suppose you don’t like paying taxes to your government

      > I suppose you don’t like paying taxes to your government The fact that the closest comparison people have to the App Store racket is a sovereign government (the most powerful entities on Earth) is a pretty bad sign from an antitrust perspective.

    Of all the App Store problems, this one strikes me as by far the most egregious. If Microsoft couldn't bundle IE in the 90s, then Apple certainly shouldn't be able to completely prevent installation of Safari competitors.
