Good point. Those are examples of crap behaviour too. ;)

Thanks. To add, All the big companies behave horribly at every opportunity they have to make money. Epics trying to use the courts to increase their profit from Apple's walled garden. Apple's trying to protect their moat. Google Facebook and Amazon are trying to mine every single detail about everyone's life, for money. Instead of these ridiculous court battles we should have gambling laws that restrict underage gambling in video games, and antitrust suits to break open all the walled gardens.

Bad behaviour by some other third party does not justify bad acts by Apple.

Sure, Google tying way too many things to a single Google account is exactly the same antipattern. I'm not sure if this is supposed to refute my comment. If so, this rhetorical antipattern is called "whataboutism" ;)

I answered a question you asked, and then you accuse me of whataboutism?

Eesh.
