> If this was true, we'd have more mobile computing platforms. If you think smartphone customers and server customers are evaluating hardware based on the same criteria, then why isn't Apple the leading datacenter hardware OEM? > Large enterprises publish in Apple's AppStore. Yeah? Where's my Pro Tools download on the App Store? Where's my Cinema4D download? Can I get Bitwig Studio from there? Hell, is iTerm2 or Hammerspoon even available there? Large enterprises very explicitly don't publish on the MacOS App Store because it is a purely raw deal. If you're developing a cross-platform app (which most large enterprises do), then you've already solved all the problems the App Store offers to help with. It's a burdonsome tax for anyone that's not a helpless indie, and even the indies lack the negotiating power that makes the App Store profitable for certain enterprises.
