Sorry, but the article says nothing about companies maintaining control for the sake of profits — only the parent developed this point.

The article made the point about the lack of composability of iOS, with the Grail of composability being the command-line. And I stand by what I said. Design is the result of trade-offs: you can't have ease of use and composability.

Steve Jobs understood the necessity of trade-offs better than anyone else.
