He is a horrible apple shill, but he does have great insight and articulate reasoning on why things are the way they are. We should figure out where the block is and remove it.

It's the kind of articulation you'd see in a McKinsey pitch deck. It's corporate apologia, heavily skewed towards Apple. His takes on Apple's 30% cut and the EU telling Apple to allow third party app stores, tell me he's speaking from the investor's POV than a developer's or consumer's.

It's important to be able to read and understand both sides of an argument. Sadly most people prefer to read media that's slanted in the way they agree with.

As for the EU, the land is devoid of innovation. Whether it's a cure for cancer, AI, a rocket to Mars, or you name it, chances are the next big thing will not be developed there. You can admire them for their socialist healthcare or whatever while still realizing that if the entire world operated like Europe progress would cease and another dark age would start. You don't have to see things in black and white.
