Great essay as usual by @ballmatthew on Apple and why it is a threat to and impediment of development of the next stage of the internet matthewball.vc/all/applemetav…
“Apple is inhibiting this future Internet. And it does so via tolls, controls, and technologies that not only deny what made and still makes the open web so powerful, but also prevents competition, and prioritize Apple’s own profits.” 
“Apple does not want a digital world built and innovated upon interoperable standards, device/endpoint agnosticity, and without Cupertino.”
The recommended solution is unbundling control of app distribution and payment methods
“It may feel unfair to force Apple to loosen the controls that led it to such unprecedented success and adoption. Yet problems arising from Apple’s controls are becoming larger every day, as is the company’s unprecedented strength.”
