"get over it"? why?

Can I be the judge of what kind of UI controls I like instead of Apple deciding for me? This hasn't be a problem with any Windows or Linux app I've ever used or any webpage I've ever visited. I guess I don't confuse easily.

And without those same app store policies holding them back, how long do you think it will be before Android passes Apple's ecosystem?

200,000+ is a lot of apps, but how many of them are "fart apps" or something equally as useful?

The $4B in revenue also sounds like an impressive number, how much of that money is because users had to pay for apps to make up for the lack of flash? And why does it matter to me how much money they've made? Isn't that part of the problem? At the end of the day the app store doesn't exist to serve users, it exists to make Apple as much money as possible, this motivates them to maintain as much control over it as possible no matter what the cost to users or developers is.
