- ProfessorLayton 2y agoPutting ethical concerns aside (I'm definitely not on Big Tech's side on this), it just makes business sense to not piss off one of your biggest app developers in favor of someone making an unofficial client. We absolutely need more regulation for these big platforms, but until then it's difficult to blame Apple for acting rationally business-wise.
- nozzlegear 2y agoWhy do I need permission from my city council to build a bakery in a residential neighborhood? I shouldn't need it, it's all red tape like Apple's policies.
- asveikau 2y agoThis is such whataboutism. You might as well have asked why the state doesn't allow you to kill people. Why is there any rule at all ever? Clearly apple has a divine right to prevent you from changing CSS and it has equal legitimacy to the state.
- nozzlegear 2y agoMy analogy is poor but we're arguing for the same thing. Apple's App Store policies are arbitrary red tape¹ and we should be able to choose different stores. ¹ like zoning laws :p
