Making web lose -> make users unhappy in short (and probably long) term, damage Apple's reputation in long term
It's totally awesome how Google created its Play store so that it seamlessly works on competing platforms -- after all it's a largely open-source stack that would easily run on (say) iPhones. No wait, they use it as a bludgeon to keep third parties in line (and create vendor lock-in).
- vdaniuk 11y ago> Making web lose -> make users unhappy in short term Sure, it decreases user satisfaction for a SUBSET of users, who care about web apps. This subset seems to be strategically negligible for Apple. This is a trade-off which is absolutely rational from the shareholders/management perspective. >It's totally awesome how Google created its Play store so that it seamlessly works on competing platforms Your fanboyism shows. This thread is not about Google, also a corporation which actions are driven by interests of management and shareholders.
- Tloewald 11y agoAh yes, pointing out that your anti-Apple arguments are just as easily applied to Chrome/Google, Firefox/Mozilla, or IE/Microsoft makes me a fanboy. It's like Betteridge's Law for discussions involving Apple.
- wstrange 11y agoCorrect me if I am wrong, but how could Google ever create a play store for Apple iOS devices? Doesn't Apple forbid that?
