Not sure how is this relevant. The mobile market is just on another level in terms of users and money. Apple is a business not a charity. It makes sense that they don't want to incur in expenses that don't increase revenue. Tech n

There are more phone users than PC users though. Stats estimate a 4 billion difference. Can you imagine the costs of having just an increase of 400k users flooding your shops and online forums for help because of one of these third party st

Money that goes into this is money that doesn't go into the shareholders pockets or into growing Apple. It's like asking Whatsapp to allow third party clients or expose their API. Makes tech nerd sense but not business sense. At t

Allowing alternative app stores and browsers is likely to lead to more security issues, more users using tech support resources because a dodgy app downloaded from a 3rd party app store they installed broke their phone in odd ways and will

Make a private repo. Making it public, with a readme and ready to be consumed (via npm or the like) implies that you are sharing this with the public. You shouldn't prevent discussion in those cases imo especially if it doesn't re

The reality is that thanks to those tech wizards, most companies don't need tech wizards to build tech products and most tech workers don't need to know anywhere near as much as you would need to back in the days. The same kind of

Not sure if comparing salary potentials coming from two different socio-economic periods is useful or likely to mislead. Tech and people versed in it were not common (to people outside tech) and so the high salaries would reflect that. Now
