Being developer-hostile has always been part of Apple's identity, one unfortunate side of Steve Jobs's hubris enabled this stance, but it has worsened considerably under Tim Cook.

The eccentric and slightly authoritarian leader knew how to offer just enough to sweeten the deal.

Under Cook, on the other hand, Apple has turned tone-deaf and has continuously played hardball, making numerous faux pas along the way.

I believe that developers good to be considerably worse now, and even if the numbers don't speak loudly yet, I have no doubt they will.
