Apple has threatened to remove Amphetamine from the App Store

Considering how hostile Apple seems to be to the creators that make their platform worth using, I'm consistently surprised that people keep developing for it/investing in it. At least Microsoft is apathetic all the way through: don't expect any help, but as far as I know you won't get shot out of the blue. To me, Apple's whole shtick these last few years reads as if they're just saying "We don't want you to develop on our platform." ("Pay us for even the ability to start making anything on our devices. Give us our cut for letting you exist and provide content for our platform. You can't do that anymore; banned. Make this arbitrary change or you're gone in x days...")

It's one reason the Mac App Store is a pale shadow of the iOS app store.

Inconsistency in sand boxing, especially with Apple apps distributed via the app store vs. non-Apple apps.

So much promise utterly wasted. What really is annoying is that it's been bad for so long without any seeming care from Apple in improving things. I'll use the app store for free or small dollar apps, but anything over $20 if I can buy it outside the App store I absolutely do even though it's more of a hassle.
