Can’t push an app with a 3rd party store as an option. Can’t install outside the AppStore. I think the argument for some regulation is fair. The mobile space is restrictive at the end of the day and users lose because of it.

I think ultimately this argues for far more than regulating the mobile space. Users can end up losing anytime there are dominant players, but I don’t think Tim is arguing for anything to help users, he’s arguing to help himself and that’s my point. This isn’t some kind of altruistic mission he’s on.

  If you need people to be on an 'altruistic mission' to support them doing something, you're really narrowing your options. If someone does something that helps a situation we should support it.

    Epic CEO wants government regulation to make it so he doesn’t have to pay for something he values just doesn’t have the same ring.

      Replace "Epic CEO" with "someone" in that sentence and you're talking about like half of all activism.
