Makes sense. You can expect people to find microsecond speedups a lot more relevant compared to nanosecond speedups. Are you really equating people's perception of tens of milliseconds of latency with their perception of nanoseconds? I

Can Google really complain? For years they bundled Chrome installers that set the browser as default with other random software. And every time you visited Google with Internet Explorer or Firefox, they told you to "upgrade" to Ch

It's a 497 MB file that compresses down to 83 MB with zstd. Is 83 MB so huge to transfer? > not trivial to install It's a single binary, there is nothing to install. If this isn't trivial to install I can't imagine in

Even without any editor features from the last 20 years (like auto-adding and auto-closing braces), typing semicolons and curly braces should not end up taking a significant portion of time.

Being able to copy-paste code with every editor and not ending up with broken code is a real time saver.

After I leave the McDonalds "store" with a Big Mac, I can have their food with outside food/drinks. After I leave the Apple Store with an iPhone, I cannot use my phone with outside apps.

But people are not asking Apple to install their apps for them on their own iPhone. People are only asking Apple to stop preventing them from installing apps. After you pay for the iPhone, it is yours, after you leave the physical Apple Sto
