Forget open source - Apple rips off ideas from devs-and subsequently dumpstering their apps coz why buy an enhancement when your device does it already?- on their platform so commonly there is even a term for it - getting "sherlocked"

This is not exclusive to Apple. Software included in the default MS Windows installation was a huge concern, too. MS killed a company or two back in the day when they piled on extras in Windows that these other companies were selling for profit. And I am certain that Google killed a few 3rd party apps by integrating similar features in Android nor their apps.
