The way Apple gets away with stuff makes me feel very conspiratorial. Like, how?
How is Apple getting a pass every time and my tin foil hat would say that they are protected by the US government. Maybe because it's just an important corporation for the US economy but maybe it's an important corporation for US spying too.
US law doesn't care what companies do to consumers. The law only cares what they do to other companies. Apple own their own hardware production and ecosystem, so they aren't harming other companies (directly).
No conspiracy needed.
Apple doesn't allow other companies to have their own app stores. Which google already did allow, they just didn't make it easy to install one.
Apple is MUCH worse in restricting app stores. It makes no sense that Apple can continue to get away with their far worse restrictions than google. On the positive side this will make Android even better and more attractive to consumers vs AOS than it already was.
Apple absolutely harms other companies to the point where are taken to court all the time.
There's no such thing as "their own ecosystem"
Yes, but those companies are poorer, and have lower tier legal teams.
Das capitalism baby!
