We have no evidence to suggest that they put huge resources and lots of top talent on this feature and no evidence to suggest that they used any research to back it up. Just because Apple is a big company doesn't mean that all they do

Some people would rather no one can get the content than simply not consuming it themselves. It's not enough that they don't see it: No one should, because they know what's best.

I would say when it comes to client-server interaction in Erlang, it's fine to make that as if it were any other language, but there are plenty of situations where you'd like to spin up several nodes of something in AWS, for examp
