I didn't choose for Apple to win 50% of US mobile and for the other company to also have draconian rules about deploying software and taxing it.
I don't care how much Apple hand holds grandma. Mobile is a hellscape for developers and other companies. The idea that distributing your software should subjugate you to paying taxes to a private company (one that can compete with you) is surreal.
Moreover, mobile is what most consumers use now. You have to be present on mobile to reach them. Web should have been enough, but it isn't. And to make it worse, it's knee-capped to suck on mobile.
It's impossible to enter this market and compete on hardware, so we won't get any reprieve unless regulators put a stop to this.
We need to be able to deploy software at zero cost. Without scare walls or adversarial advertising. Or mandates to use certain software choices. Or mandatory reviews. I'll stop bitching about Apple and Google when that happens.
