This really isn’t the time to bootstrap an “App Stores are inherently bad” argument to complicate the matter. Sometimes the enemy of your enemy is your friend.

        AFAIK Donald Trump has never been charged—let alone convicted—of sexual relations with a minor. He was also not convicted of sexual assault, even of an adult. (See https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-was-donald-trump-found-guilty-rape-1799935 https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-was-donald-trump-found-g...). Nevertheless, there are plenty of other reasons to despise him. Also, the entire DF article at issue here takes Apple to task for cozying up to his administration.

            On what, exactly, in your confidence based? In my experience, the most confident people are usually the ones who turn out to be most often wrong.

  App Stores are inherently bad. The morality argument is irrelevant.
