Apple cannot justify their transgressions against the modern development workforce as "a matter of platforms". The future cannot be segregated by platforms - that's part of the goal of a private and secure web. We need to work together to create secure infrastructure that everyone can trust, not huddle away and say that "Apple isn't looking for people like you". I understand that you're probably pretty impartial on the topic, but even you can acknowledge that their treatment of developers is unhealthy.
>Apple cannot justify their transgressions against the modern development workforce as "a matter of platforms".
Sure they can, and I for one, am fine with their justification. I don't want everything to be "secure web apps", I want to have native apps, and I want to have a choice of different platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux, etc.) each doing its own thing their way.
I don't want to use Linux as my desktop because I don't like their choices, the same way I don't want to use Windows or macOS as my server, because I don't like their choices.
>The future cannot be segregated by platforms
That's a monoculture dystopia then, not a future where many competing ideas about what platforms can be, what OSes offer, what their core tenets are, etc. flourish.
