Can we stop endlessly puting Apple's various authoritarians missteps under the spotlight? It's been literally decades now, we know they can and will do whatever they want in their walled garden. Stop giving them attention. Complaining clearly does not work, if you want to make a difference, change platforms. Nobody is forcing you to develop for Apple.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or if you think the whole 'if you don't like something then shut-up and move' strategy is actually a logical solution.

There's better use of people's outrage than rallying behind a developer giving away their time to Apple in their walled garden. The replies in the HN thread confirm a derivative of my opinion is shared by most.

And in this case, a strategy including 'move' will almost always be superior to one without. Complaining to incumbents does very little.
