> app store model

Yes, well we as a developer community can never let up on Apple and Google's app store models being legally reprehensible.

We are quite literally the most negatively affected community by these monopolies over general consumer's devices.

We need to be the "force to be reckoned with" here and constantly petitioning politicians for action else get campaigned AGAINST electronically (our domain).

I would say that the app store model negatively affects a growing "small software business" sector of the economy which will only continue to grow as a stable pillar of the modern middle class.

In other words, this is only becoming that much more of a critically important issue.
