Yep, maybe if you abuse me, it will add credibility..
Your post specifically was correlating the two. But, seems more like since you don't have any real justification for your response, you're resorting to calling me a "STAN" or whatever. If you want to do that, I prefer you stick to Reddit, where that behavior is commonplace.
Google have done very little to block other app stores or other ad providers on their platforms.. That's why they're likely far behind. Apple on the other hand have a long history of blocking apps, or delaying them, and blocking App stores.
The proof is, most popular Android products aren't even made by Apple (Samsung). And a lot of android products don't even ship the Play store.
Complaints for IOS and Android developers are remarkably different. Many Android developers are complaining there are too many variants of devices, whereas many Apple developers (particularly bigger ones) complain about Apple business practices.
Getting locked out of the App Store, means your product is dead. Even worse, Apple used to ban entire products from their app store, explicitly if it replicates some of their functionality too (or even not even tell the developer why). If that's not anti-competitive, I don't know what is.
I’m not abusing you. I’m simply stating that you have a very obvious bias. I’d have to overcome that before you’d ever even consider any counter-argument I would have.
You position Google as having no business complaints, use things Apple USED to do im the past as arguments against them now…
And “oh no! Google’s worst problem is too much tech!” Meanwhile, the evil empire Apple is horrible and mean! You’re biased as hell man.
Therefore, to me, this is an exercise in futility.
