It's not just the machine learning stuff, they have a non-portable approach for everything, including the platform's primary programming language. They still seem to live in a world where a significant niche of developers targets Apple platforms and their bespoke APIs only.

The problem with that world view is that (a) everything with a network effect can't target a single platform anymore, and (b) the business model for old-school professional single-user apps was killed by the App Store.

They are relying on people looking into spending statistics by platform and realizing that if they want those sweet sweet $$$, they are forced to deal with apple and their walled garden.
