It doesn't. But there's a more important point: you're paraphrasing somebody you clearly have a great deal of personal animosity toward, completely changing the meaning in the process, and with no indication that this is what

The endgame is that Apple is forced to actually make a working browser, rather than intentionally starve it of resources to benefit the App Store. Everyone wins.
