I'm tired of this kind of bullshit. I can't buy books on the kindle app, I can't play Apple music on my google mini, I can't install the PAX app for my vape on iOS, and now that. Yet there isn't enough abuse from Apple to make us switch to another platform. Without regulation this situation will never be fixed.

regulation is not the answer. The market aka the consumer will solve this on its own.

regulation is what allows consumers the opportunity to make decisions for themselves.

otherwise, we'd all still be using internet explorer

That is so perverted on so many levels. Tech is the last real free-market, we need to keep regulation away as much as we can. We are the last bastion of Adam Smiths economy...
