Don't you think that is something apple should have thought of before doing what they did to cause outcry?

Apple wanted to be the gatekeeper blocking out harmful apps, fine by me.

Apple then wanting to use that gatekeeper status to steal money from app developers, block apps that compete with apple internal apps, and enforce moral choices on what kinds of apps you can install on your phone, evil by me.

They could have done the former without doing the latter, but they fucked it up, and have to pay the piper.
