I am reading a different Bloomberg article right now on this subject https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-03-22/apple-...

I am 100% sure (infinitely sure!) that I will sign up for Apple’s service to try it out and I am ‘almost sure’ that Apple will face a lot of regulatory and legal challenges.

By personal preference I would like to see more open platforms and, off topic for this conversation, a more distributed web.

I don’t think we will get there though. Years ago author William Gibson probably ‘got it right’ in predicting what the future will be like: corporations become all-powerful, governments become a joke if they exist at all, and talented people align themself with a corporation as we self identify now as the citizen of a country.
