That's a very... generous take.

On my 1st London iPhone dev meetup there was a single representative from Apple: a biz dev guy! He asked a single question, when I commented the review process is annoying (compared to anything we had back then).

So, in retrospect, Apple encircled the whole ecosystem from the get go and wanted 120% of all the money that could be extracted. And they executed on it rather flawlessly.
