npub1srcgh979ychudzrha7asxa7kvennpghghzzadmv5gcunfw5p72qs6xfms4 (npub1src…fms4) 1) Apple would make iOS and the developer tools regardless of whether 3rd parties were on the platform, because Apple uses them itself. Indeed, iPhone shipped in 2007 without 3rd party apps.
2) It was an arbitrary decision to take a cut of software revenue for access to the platform. This did not occur with Mac or Apple II. Or Windows or MS-DOS or other computing platforms in the past.
3) Apple uses 3rd party apps to sell hardware. “There’s an app for that.” Where’s our cut?
