If you want to talk about reducing innovation then have a look at Apple's walled garden. They're preventing so many innovative new apps from ever being created by being inaccessible to young/poor developers.
This comment is so ironic because Apple has been the #1 innovator in so many arenas for decades.
Or let's take a step back: Can I develop the app without buying a $1000 macbook? You can develop for android using any platform. Apple's build tools are limited to only work on macos.
Really tho I think we collectively use that term whenever it suits us, without much clarity on what innovative outcomes actually are. We need a better definition and better yardsticks.
