I have long since stopped being mad about this. I was mad about this in 2007 when iPhone was announced and I heard apps would be web only. I never owned an iPhone despite being one of Apple's biggest fanboys at the time. This policy is why I stopped using Apple products altogether. By 2011 I purchased my last apple product (a used Magic Mouse, I didn't even want to give them the satisfaction of a new purchase). By 2013 I was running Linux on my laptop and I never looked back. Apple went from "We <3 open source!" and "Number one place to run Java!" to "30% of your revenue or else" and "Java is like a heavyweight ball and chain." That really hurt. It felt like a major betrayal. But like every other major change in my life, it turned out for the best. I have a much better understanding of what's going on in my computer since leaving Apple. I have more freedom. I'm not mad anymore. I'm glad they pushed me away.
