It seems to me that the dynamic is, you can gain marketshare at the cost of profit per customer by being more open. So it's the competitors who aren't in first place in a given market that would consider it.

The difference many people are missing is between moral offense and aesthetic offense. The author is claiming the latter; it's a critique of bad style. You can disbelieve the claim or disagree with it, but it's not prima facie nonsense.

As recently as five years ago, I thought this would never happen. The argument was something like: "All Microsoft has to do is put out a good-enough browser. Every time people buy their next computer, IE will be the default and they won't b
