> Each new rule is a barrier to entry.

To explain barriers to entry, consider that right now you can choose between an iOS phone and an Android phone and nothing else. Try to imagine how much it would cost to write a 3rd OS and kickstart a useful app store (you'd have to bribe devs to port their stuff, and not even that worked for Microsoft).

That is an extreme barrier to entry.

If you're not careful, you'll end up with one or two options for everything.
