I mostly disagree on the analysis, because it starts from the premise that Apple will lose more by continuing with the current stance. IMHO, that's backwards: being a for-profit company, Apple (and to a lesser extent, Google) has been using every lever they get to stall for time and get a few more quarters of those sweet App Store profits. Whether it's a bad strategy to wait until the very last time to comply is still to be seen. Still, a very interesting read I'll keep to the back of my mind.
