Gruber never pretends to be objective - he likes what he likes, and he dislikes what he dislikes. Notably, he has a pretty strong "pro-business" streak in him that objects to anything resembeling workers rights or unions, and government regulation/interference in businesses.
The EU tends to do a lot of that, so overall he's very critical of it. And at the moment there's a lot of governments telling Apple what to do, so it's the perfect storm of getting his knickers in a twist constantly.

- kemayo 3y agoI don't think I've seen him do opposition to workers rights / unions? He hasn't been constantly yelling about supporting them either, but that's different. E.g. a quick google for "daring fireball unions" turned up mostly articles like this one which were pro union-demands: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2021/11/24/wirecutter-union https://daringfireball.net/linked/2021/11/24/wirecutter-unio... Closest to a negative I found in that quick search was him making fun of the Maryland Apple Store union that was asking to be allowed to request tips from Apple Store customers... while also saying that the rest of their demands sounded like good things to ask for.
