Perhaps the HN crowd finally got wise and migrated away from Apple because:

1. their devices are (or are on a path of becoming) non-general purpose computing devices.

2. developers are treated like junk on the app store.

We'll see about (1) but (2) is unfortunately a structural problem that goes far beyond just Apple.

Developers are forced to operate in a "market" dominated by a few oligopolists that are obsessed with control, both on their own behalf and on the behalf of governments.
