Macs making people pay for mundane tasks, typical. I recently switched from windows to mac and it's CRAZY how many things you need to pay for via an app to get done when compared to free or built-in alternatives you get on Windows.
I tried loving iOS too but it's just too damn funny that same apps are paid on iOS whereas they're free on Android.
This might be due to how easy Apple makes it to implement this sort of thing. Even if the app isn’t on the App Store.
On iOS, apps must be on the App Store, which requires being enrolled in the Apple developer program. I imagine developers then make their apps paid to cover this.
