A reasonable analogy might be competitive gaming, where the author is trying to be the best of the best and achieve rank 1 on a competitive ladder, but he's losing because the rank 1 player is cheating.

You're suggesting they play a different game because the maker of this game is allowing a cheater to nullify the results of the competitive scene.

Do you see how it might poor form to tell a person trying to be the best in the world at one specific game to simply play a different game?

That's potentially kind of a straw man though. Your suggestion isn't necessarily wrong.

No his point is to stop playing games anyone can play (including the console maker who has a tremendous incentive to be the best at the game), and build a business with a sustainable competitive advantage.

I’ve built an entire business around OS enhancements before, it’s like picking up nickels before a steamroller.
