Are you even replying to the right post?

I'm talking about the relationship between Apple and devs making apps for their platforms. Not about "who invented flat first" (answer: the 70s did, but that's another story).

Picking "who dun it first" arguments online is so old, dude. So old.

Flat became popular in the '60s — the 1860s, that is, when Japanese art became available in Europe.

It became popular again in the twentieth century in the 1940s, but for somewhat different reasons.
