It's not about money. Apple has $200B just sitting in a bank doing nothing. It's about supply and owning the entire market. What happens when the entire market stagnates because those devs are writing great stuff for Apple exclusively?

Apple also used to buy the entire world supply of sapphire for phones and the entire world supply of flash memory for music players. Literally, nobody else could compete, because Apple contracted it in bulk, first.

Those days seem long gone now. Today Apple takes 5 years to update their Pro desktop, while at the same time, making fun of people for using 5 year old computers.
