BTW if Apple wins, developers are fucked. Apples gatekeeping will become the norm.
Developers would be resigned to the role of supplicant, who have to beg to sell their apps in the App Stores.

No.
Imagine Microsoft would try do the same.
Inconceivable.

If it threatens their app store they will limit web apps.

So you are against a free market. Instead of multiple shops you want one megastore.
Only one webshop: Amazon
Only one Social Network: Facebook
Only one search engine: Google
Only one OS: Windows

You are relying on a benevolent dictator.
If Apple decided to sell you out you are fucked.

"GitHub does not preclude you from using git for what it’s intended to be", yet.
Never trust MS, FB, Amazon, etc.
Sooner or later they lock you in or kill the service you rely on.
comment
Wait until you need a Microsoft account for accessing github, wait until your account gets blocked.
All of sudden all of your code is out of reach.

That monoculture means you can't change anything because it breaks the learned idioms.

UX is mostly subjective measured.

Is it five eyes or five Is like in Intelligence services?
If it is eyes shouldn't it be 10 eyes? Two eyes per country or is it meant like "in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king&…

None of the good guys gets that much. So best you can get it is two bad guys fight each other.

Misleading title "Apple didn't force in-app purchases on Wordpress"

It has nothing to do with moral high ground.
It's about being the better alternative and about and free markets.
But now everybody knows the US will play dirty to protect their it predominance.

BTW this is about Facebook.
Zuckerberg is just killing a competitor. This has nothing to do with freedom, it's about money.
Just like Epic vs Apple.

So because China doesn't play fair the west doesn't play fair too?

Learn from history. Every empire falls.

Ask the Chinese about Japan.

At least PC users have a large range of playable games. I don't want to be in the position of a Mac users to hope and beg for a Mac port of a game.
And the Apple app store has malware too.
