Not just insulting to the dev, but to users as well. Any app on my Mac being able to eavesdrop at all times when wearing AirPods is "worth" just $7k to Apple?

I'm reminded about the Apple Music passage in the After Steve book, where Apple tried to fuck over musicians just because they thought they could get away with it (zero royalty payments during Apple Music trials, so the trial was 100% subsidized by labels and artists), before walking it back. The executives are clearly far more concerned with bad PR, and not guided by values or principles.
