I read that as more Cabel trying as hard as he can to keep cool and constructive.
He's trying to remember that it's all people, not monoliths, and is trying not be unfair to people uninvolved in this and related messes.
Which is admirable, but you can see why it's hard. This is incredibly frustrating.
- chetanahuja 12y agoThe Apple vs app store is a distinction without any difference though. The whole idea of controlling what users can run on their own hardware is 100% Apple through and through. If you remember the history of iPhone, even that was granted as a concession only after devs started jailbreaking and started developing native apps without Apple's permission. Now, if with that history and culture, some app store middle manager makes an autocratic decision to remove core functionality from a beloved app, you can't just lay it on "one bad apple" so to speak. This is the culture the whole company is seeped in. This can't be a surprise to someone who has decided to "love so deeply" this entity for so many years.

It's incredibly frustrating because apple is mistreating the developers building the app ecosystem they themselves rely on. There better be a shit-ton of money in this, because looking at this from the outside, it all looks like madness.
