If Netflix were to treat their customers like that, why would anyone continue to subscribe?
I get the argument that Apple fighting on behalf of users can be good. Unfortunately they went well beyond that remit, and have blocked all kinds of useful applications on specious and moral grounds. What right should Apple have to block xCloud? Or Fortnite? Or emulators? Or torrent applications? Or crypto wallets? Or adult themed apps? Or Parler? And this says nothing of their predatory revenue model. They had their chance to be good citizens of a dominant platform. They totally blew it. They chose to tell users and legislators to go fuck themselves. This is 100% Apple’s fault.
