In all honesty I don't get these arguments. Why does it matter when Apple is fucking Dropbox/Microsoft? Am I supposed to be angry at Apple?
I hate Apple for a lot of reasons, but the idea they should be lenient to other large corporations is hilarious. Why on earth should I extend my empathy like that?
>the idea they should be lenient to other large corporations is hilarious.
The rules apply to developers of all sizes--not just Microsoft. This is Apple being greedy--which is fine in principle. But as a heavily-invested Apple customer, I "cheer" for the Apple ecosystem (and the company's fair dealings with developers) because I'd like continued priority and investment given to this platform. That's my angle, and Apple seems to be working against it. I find it offensive (as I'm sure many developers do) that Apple claims the right to revenue made from outside of its App ecosystem.
