They are, and I’ve already explained how they are, several times.
And you were wrong.
They have no choice because Apple does not make iOS/Apple Store available to anyone else…
People and companies are not compelled to open source their software. Apple doesn’t have to open source iOS or offer it on other devices if they don’t want to. Same goes for Sony/Xbox/Nintendo.
If I code a game, it’s not illegal for me to keep the source code to myself.
If Google did what Apple did (or did not in this case), those other OEMs would have zero choices and wouldn’t even exist…
No, if Google had done what Apple did, nobody would’ve flocked to Android in the first place, and we’d have more competition. Do you think there were no phone makers before Android or something?
It’s incredible how you still don’t get it despite me very clearly explaining it multiple times.
Apple. Is. Not. Imposing. Terms. On. Phonemakers.
Google is. Because their dominant market position allows them to.
If Google did this only for their own Pixel line, it would be fine.
It’s not abusing your market position to not open source your own software. If I make a game, I don’t have to let people have the source code. How don’t you understand this?
I’ve explained many times why Google’s options are abusive of their market position and Apple’s aren’t. You’re just unable to understand, it’s like talking to a brick wall.
