I laughed out loud at this. Google lost two antitrust lawsuits this year alone.
One of which only existed because Android was open source in the first place (but the app store was not). Something far more generous than most companies.
It's not generous, it's a calculated business decision no different than a drug dealer giving out hits for free.
So you're saying a more abusive company is better because it's not actively trying to attract users by being less abusive?
