With these I always feel like they just made some shitty ones after the job was finished just for the ‘look we did a whole design and thought out of the box’ articles like these

Microsoft got into trouble because Windows had a very dominant market position (80%+) iOS does not because there are more Android devices than iOS devices. Regarding your first part about apple having a monopoly on what runs on an iPhone: s

Flappy Bird might have a million customers but he could opt to not collect information on those users. If Apple/Google had the information that is their issue, not that of the app developer.

It got only one thing wrong: there are roads that allow 50km/h and 60km/h without dedicated cycling roads (or with curbs). The former sometimes has no cycling indication, the latter is seen with a 1.5 width car lane with two small
