Also let us not forget that Apple sued other phone manufacturers for having rectangular phones. You reap what you sow.
Also they tried to trademark the word "App" Store saying that "App Store" meant "Apple" Store.
Fuck Apple.
Yup. They care about money and monopoly as it also means more money.
All companies do. Any company that says they want a free market is lying or speaking from a place of disadvantage - they all would want a monopoly even more, preferably one where people are mandated by the government to buy their product. Or even better, if the government is the customer. $$$$$
Most tech companies on the stock market.
Plenty of mom and pop shops and 1 man websites that everyone should support.
Yes, of course, good distinction. I had stock market companies in mind.
I go out of my way to support the small websites. If there is an app I want to download, I check out their site first to see if I can buy from there so they can save on the crazy fees google charges
