Fuck yes.
Tim Apple has spent so much corporate & personal credit swearing the sky will fall if Apple doesn't have total control.
Someone finally has had enough with this bullshit horrible smokescreen crap & has done something about it. Apple has nearly no foreseeable winning plays where they can possibly hold back the tide anymore. It has never been true, has always been self-dealing, and they are going to be spending the next decade being the bad guys & squabbling over every inch of terrain & working overtime to find new legal horseshit ways to entrench/intermediate/extract.
The new plan to charge hundreds of thousands a year to let devs ship outside the Apple store is a classic Apple thinks they can write whatever rules they want move. They will burn their house down around them rather than be a respectable decent operator. Nothing will even slightly justify their absurd protectionist stance and they'll keep looking worse & worse.
Apple is not going to lose this long game with dignity. They will lose it like sour graceless chumps.
