Where is the anti-competitive behaviour in this? It is not that you cannot export your photos, it just does not have a feature to make a gallery with one click. Your note abou iTunes is also off the mark.

What's wrong with April 30th? And operator understanding their tools applies to MySQL as well. You can set it be more strict, but default is lax. Not sure if reverse is possible with PG.
