I have a hard time imagining, let alone fearing, such a future when we have an abundance of alternatives. How much can Apple limit developers or somehow degrade our consumer experience when Android, Chrome and Windows are readily available? If you can really imagine Apple kicking Avid, Pro Tools and Blizzard off of the Mac platform (the sure result if Apple forced them on the App Store and demanded %30 of the revenue) then you have a much more active imagination than me.

Apple's building a controlled app store, we get it - that doesn't mean that their only goal is control. To me, this is like imputing in 2003 that since Apple's highest profile products were music related, that Apple would soon be strictly dedicated to music-related software and hardware.
