    Edit: Sorry! I misread your comment at first. Yeah, now that you say that, that makes the most sense.

    But from the standpoint of anti-competitivity and Android vs iOS with Apple…

    One’s behavior is denying access to their app store without agreeing to a set of device restrictions, but everything on the app store is available without the app store at developer discretion.

    The other is an app store which MUST be installed, and is in fact the ONLY way to get software for the device.

    One is CLEARLY more anti-competitive than the other, and yet the one that’s LESS problematic is the one that gets court action. It’s a joke.
