Yea and Google doesn't do the same sh*t as Apple? Looking at it this way, it is impossible to avoid abusive and increasingly vague and restrictive store policies..

You think there is a chance in hell Apple and Google are not going to continue the trend of restricting devs and taking bigger profit shares for the "privilege" of being in the store? Its only going to get worse. Good for them for standing up.



If you wish more competition to enter the market I'd argue for Apple to increase its prices (the higher margins the more competition).

You're arguing they lower their prices, and thats just going to cement their position.


I am not arguing for them to continue their status quo, I am saying that without competition Apple/Google have no incentive to improve.

We would all be better off if Apple lowered prices and we got alternatives. That's a win/win even if most users don't use the alternatives.
