Both sides are authoritarian. One is a private company with more money than most countries, one is an economic union nominally representing the people of many countries.
I don't know where I fall on this issue personally, but siding with Apple is probably more authoritarian.
People defend Apple like its the underdog. Apple has been Goliath for almost a decade. Apple under Tim Cook is more about making money than it is about making the best product.
Yep and i think the market is saturated, but they still need the number to go up for the big shareholders. I mean they have a gross profit of 150 billion, it's not like this is helping the workers making apple's products and services.
I'm old enough to remember when they were the underdog.
I still find it weird that people spent the last 5 years complaining about practices that started when they still were an underdog, and which were applauded at the time, and which don't even fully apply now to all developers anyway.
