Absolutely. I like the status quo and I'm not eager to find out what my new world will be like when the companies signaling that they don't really care about consumers have the power instead of Apple.
The power to... not have to pay Apple so much for in app purchases in the app store? How does that hurt you, the consumer?
"does the fact that mr. crocodile eats small, flightless birds invalidate his argument that he can get me (a small, flightless bird) across the river faster than i could do so alone?"
I didn't say 'show me an example of how motivations can invalidate an argument', I am talking about this particular example - how does Epic et al's desire to make money invalidate their argument that Apple has a anti-competitive monopoly on the app store?
