you don’t suppose that whole “europe” thing you so staunchly support could be manipulated by those same wealthy people, do you?
sometimes picking a hill to die on is more about dying than hills.

Apps are more free to manipulate and advertise to you on the web than they are as native apps.

#5Apple is a consumer product business. They have no reason to care about being a good Unix - that's misunderstanding. And iOS has covered up, and made inaccessible, literally every feature of Unix.

This is correct. Apple used to care about being UNIX, so they could gain traction amongst a certain subset of like-minded power users. But all those like-minded engineers have left (eg. Avi, Bertrand, etc) or drank the new Kool-Aid (eg. Craig).
Now, they maintain UNIX certification to comply with contract requirements. I think if they could get away with it, they'd stop shipping Terminal.app as soon as they were able.

#8It feels super awkward to talk about how web is the savior of us all while sending my CPU to the moon to display some text and a screen-filling animated SVG that drops 10 frames for every one that gets displayed.

And I am more free to block them with a single plugin.

Why would wealthy people support a bill that universally limits the capacity of wealthy companies? To... enable better competition and limit the provenance of Gatekeeper businesses? And that's bad for citizens?
You're welcome to explain your theory more but I don't think the thumbtacks are lining up on your proverbial corkboard.

Microsoft quit being so picky once the DC District Court ordered a company breakup as an antitrust remedy. It's shocking how fast companies can transition from arguing over dying-hills to begging for their life.
