you are supporting your requirements through government intervention. Not vote with your $$$.
Exactly. Why should I vote with my wallet and forgo the otherwise excellent iOS devices, when I can have my cake and eat it too (iOS - but with more choices and freedom in apps)?
It's not only to
my personal benefit but also to the benefit of many consumers and smaller businesses, especially in light of the power and market share Apple and Google combined have in mobile apps. And the fact that there's similar regulatory and legislative efforts in developed economies around the globe (EU, US, JP, KR, AU) shows that my position is shared by many.
And slowly but surely "we" are going to win this.
The only innovation coming down the pike is malware, scamware, loss of revenue for developers, porn apps, vape apps, general deterioration of the IOS ecosystem.
What's the issue with porn and vaping?
They're legal, and both quite large business markets.
Why shouldn't apps reflect that and exist for that too?
It's kind of ironic, how you're so against intervention by government authority...
...yet judging from your repeated mentioning of porn and vapes, you clearly seem to support the idea that there should be an
authority (a patron or "big brother", if you will) that judges what's good or bad - and makes and enforces rules to
deny people access to what's "bad" for them. An
authority that makes decisions for people instead of the people (users) themselves.
You just seem happy to delegate such
authority to billion-dollar megacorporations like Apple rather than democratically elected governments.
