    Without some direct information from Apple, it's perfectly valid to wonder if they were manipulated in some way. There aren't any facts available to us that point in one direction …

    2. Of the YC companies that use hosting providers, 55% use AWS, 13% use Cloudflare and 6% use Rackspace. Cloudflare is a CDN exclusively, right? Why are they counted among the host…

    Google removed Amazon's app for violating the ToS, which clearly states that you may not sell your own app store through Google's. This is still entirely on Amazon's bad behavior. …
