Banning 3rd party browser engines is not even close to being 'clearly' in the best interest of the consumer. Neither is preventing the sideloading of apps. Those are in Apple's best interests because Apple does whats good for Apple first, before it does whats good for the consumer.

That's how most businesses work and I doubt you'd find anyone who disagrees that this is how Apple works.

If you're worried about downvotes (You're not in the gray so I don't think you have that many), perhaps I can offer the suggestion that they are because your definition of 'fact' has been, uh, rather generously deformed?

Maybe Apple thinks that they're the best ever (and a half), and anything that is good for Apple is therefore the best for consumers.
