I don't own or develop for a smartphone of any sort, but still disapprove of how Apple has been handling user (and developer, I do not consider them to be separate) rights. What Google does has nothing to do with how I feel (though I of course have opinions about their actions as well, they are offtopic).

On perhaps a slightly related note: I don't vote for whichever political party opposes the one I dislike the most. Maybe I'm weird like that.

I'm sure the one all-encompassing corporate overlord is better than the other. Absolutely! Where do I enlist?

Apple isn't enjoying almost monopoly like status on the internet. It is a walled garden.

If you want the alternative there are plenty out there, but they are not going to be as likely to make you money.

I wonder why Apple see it fit to charge for that.
