I think they're specifically mad about the app installing itself automatically. Free first-party content is fine, but preinstalling it for each user feels like borderline-promotion. Similar to the "generous" U2 giveaway that some of us still have as scars on our Apple Music library.

It didn’t install itself. It came as part of an OS release. Even Linus distros do that.

And promotion of what exactly? They announced that this would be a new feature of the OS.

The idea that they aren’t allowed to add apps with new releases makes no sense at all.

I have no dog in this fight. My $0.02 is that I prefer when all manufacturers (Apple, Android or otherwise) don't preinstall optional software, and let me install it myself if I want it. I empathize with the OP.

Dunno man - I just looked at your comments… Let’s just say it looks like you have a strong viewpoint about a certain company.

So your only argument is to cherrypick some comments from the comment history of the person you're arguing with? Ad hominem..?
