But you can’t swap out UConnect for a different platform entirely on that unit so that you can grab factory apps from a competing one.

Don't tell that to those people that just want to make a stink about anything they can. Common sense does not prevail in their world.
I have not seen that on my Samsung but I haven't looked for it either. Wait, it is Tizen.
Reverse Engineering such things is legal in the USA so the example you cite is not applicable.

Because of purported patent violations, the same reason Apple sued Samsung but I don't suppose you were against that action?
Gillette would not be held responsible if third-party blades caused harm. Contrarily, users would blame Apple if something on their iPhone was compromised or caused damage, even if they obtained it from somewhere other than the official App Store. Big difference. There's many factors at play here, and to think that Apple is only motivated to make money is absurd.
The Supreme Court isn’t going to allow this lawsuit to proceed. Calling the App Store on iOS devices a monopoly is a joke.
YOU want vetted and secure. Don’t speak for the rest of us. I want the option of alternative iOS app stores.

Because they’re greedy and they want the 30% revenue cut of all software sold.
Yes, but Apple needed those developers to make it really work. Android would have already devoured the them if they didn't support third party developers.
That being said, I like Apple's security policies for their store more than Android.
Well the Supreme court resides/presides here in America where the Iphone is the leading market share.
I have to wonder why you have an iPhone since you seemingly hate how it works and the company that makes it.
Consumer choice is better now than it was before there was an App Store. Clear and simple.
Here's what's going on: Apple designed and built a phone, operating system, app store, supply chain, and supporting infrastructure that has generated hundreds of billions of dollars in sales. Then people who have created absolutely nothing want to tell them how they should run their business and claim they're bad for consumer choice. Give me a break.

Leading from second place.
Someone can love their purchase and not agree with everything about it. Geez you fanbpis really love being dictated to.
I assure you beyond all reasonable doubt that the current version of Apple ONLY cares about making as much money as humanly possible.
Yes, I'm an Apple Fanboy. That's why my phone is a Pixel 2 XL and my laptop a Pixelbook. I just know that if you don't like the way an OS is run, you buy a product that better suits your ideals. It's not rocket science.
But we are always told that the iPhone has just a tiny market share. 15 percent I hear. Microsoft had 90 percent.
That argument didn't fly when it came to Internet Explorer and Windows.
No problem, my dude. I probably was snarkier than I should have been, and maybe came across as what you said.
