Don’t develop for iOS.

  That is not voting. That is the equivalent of telling someone who doesn't like the current dictator to "go live in the desert". Remember: I did not bring up the bad analogy. Someone abusing their quasi-monopolistic position to charge high fees is not the same as a tax. This was the point of my post. And sure we can pretend it is the same and bend reality till it fits, but that seems to me more like an idological expedition, than an insightful exploration.

    That is voting in a modern democracy. You put your eggs into Android, iOS, and/or one of the less popular candidates. Or you don’t get into the mobile space at all. Just because you don’t like the options doesn’t mean it’s not voting.

      It's not democratic voting because in a democracy a vote is made to decide the direction for the entire voting-audience. The path the majority considers to be for the greater good, in which everyone will participate then. Here the voting audience will be split in different paths which will all continue to exist, and a person changing his mind will have to leave behind things HE/SHE accumulated and contributed on this path. If that would be like democratic voting, it would mean that if you decide to change your vote from one election to the other, you have to return your entire income and acquisitions you made during the ruling of this party, to start building your life again on the other path (--> "if you don't like it, go live in the desert")

    >Someone abusing their quasi-monopolistic position to charge high fees is not the same as a tax. Actually it is. How do I stop paying taxes, if not by living in the desert?

      You think you're funny until the IRS back-charges you for 15 years of Arizona property tax.
