Wow, lots of disappointing answers. Easy: Apple hires TEAMS of designers, UX-experts/engineers [...]. The reward incentives in open source environments are not aligned with the required workload. People who seriously compare any mode

Music is reused per license everywhere. There is music in videos and movies, but not vice versa. The market for tracking copyright-violations in music is just significantly larger. That market also exists for still images, but is much more

I'd imagine moving back to India after being successful in the US gives you lots of leverage and status, in the sense of being a big fish in a smaller pool (what a beautiful irony, thinking of India of all places as the smaller pool,
