The developers sent an email to Steve Jobs about the removal of the app, and he replied "We are not allowing apps that create their own desktops. Sorry." If you think that's a staffing problem, the problem staff is Jobs.
True. But do you think Jobs took the time to look into this, or just read the review comments from review process?
Does it matter? Either way, the result is the same. If he's not setting the policy, he's explicitly supporting it.
Seems like he's supporting idiots who don't think things through. Why not approve this app and warn him he's getting awfully desktop-ish?
This is starting to sound like some kind of monarchist apology -- "the King always makes the best possible decision, but sometimes his flawed underlings provide him with bad reports".
