The TC boys need a sense of perspective; while the App Store review process is terrible, it doesn't come close to being "tyranny".

Came here to say the same thing. Author needs to go live somewhere where they can experience true tyranny.

Relax -- it's just a metaphor. The iTunes App Store may not be under tyranny, but that's like saying it's not an ecosystem because binaries are nothing like living creatures (nor is it a platform because it's not a flat physical object, etc. ad absurdum).
