I definitely get unmutable notifications on Android from my first-party phone manufacturer bloatware apps, which is the equivalent here. Would I like to see the new Themes in the Theme Marketplace?

“Fair” meaning that an app that was designed from the ground up by the same people that created the device and operating system should get the same attention as a malware-ridden hack from six years ago? What does fair even mean here? Ensuring the advantages of vertical integration can’t be enjoyed by users?

Fair means you follow your own rules and do not use your monopolistic position to promote your apps.
