> Why people try to defend Apple I'll never understand, my guess is some people who own an iPhone have decided that's 'their team' and who wants to see their team lose? But I'm not sure.

Happy to help! It's because some of us are Apple's customers, not Apple's suppliers, contractors or "vendor partners".

We customers like that Apple plays hardball with the people who would otherwise try to fuck us over. Remember that dev a few weeks ago who was giving examples of the "ways that Apple's IAP sucks"? Most of the things he wanted to do were dark patterns that are bad for customers.

If devs have to raise their prices by 15%, so be it. I would much rather that one company has my PII than fifty, anyway.
