Apple is the biggest example in the tech industry right now of vertical integration; that a company controls not only the end product that they sell but also the component parts. That's why it's best to think of Apple not as a sof

This seems to be a quote taken out of context. Apple wasn't against third party frameworks as a rule — plenty of third party libraries and tools popped up, especially for allowing languages other than ObjC to be used effectively on iOS
