Yeah I think at this point, they're protecting their brand's business model as it equates to their share price. As long as their business model is the exclusivity they've sold to their shareholders that allows them to justify sky high pricing, it's all or nothing for them. The second they back down and allow interoperability, they're toast as far as their shareholders are concerned. What a fucking joke.
