I dont feel like helping a developer who's employer doesnt respect its customers or its employees.... It sounds like this is the trade off he gets for working there?

I wish it werent like this, people should be able to work on whatever they feel like in their own personal time.

Of course, people can work on whatever they like on their free time. The developer in case chooses to abandon his open-source projects to work for a company of his choice. Nobody forced him to take this job, it was his choice.

So I guess the idea here is that as long as you're an employee of Apple, you have no free time?

This is so reductionist that it's blind to reality.
