> Anyway the comment I was replying to was implying that Beeper is the adversary which is not a correct use of the term.

You can't have a single-party adversarial system. Each party is an adversary of the other: party A wants to interop against the wishes of party B, and party B wants to lock party A out. OP wasn't implying that Beeper is "the" adversary and Apple is in the clear, OP was just saying that trying to build a business around adversarial interoperability is extremely difficult and the outcome is unsurprising.

Noting that the results are unsurprising does not imply that we condone the system that makes such results nearly inevitable.
