  deploying an app to 700M people?

    Not only do you get to deploy your app to 700M users; you also get to provide responsive support for every single one of them! Per the docs: 'Every app comes from a verified developer who stands behind their work and provides responsive support' That's thinly veiled corporate speak for, Fortune 500 or GTFO

    That's like saying making a website is like deploying an app for 7B people. Sure, but deploying a website or app doesn't mean anyone's going to use it, does it? I could make an iOS app, I could make a website, I could make a ChatGPT app... if no one uses it, it doesn't matter how big the userbase of iOS, the internet, or ChatGPT is...

      Well, if you don't make it nobody would use it for sure.

      Right this same sleight of hand is encoded in the language used in the announcement to make building on this platform to be attractive seeming.
