Wondering how this affects Apple employees. Back in the day, working for Apple seemed cool. (Pirate flags on building etc).

Previously MSFT used to be (maybe they've turned that around?) the most hated tech company (becz of their very aggressive attitudes to competitors especially Netscape).

One thing they didn't FU and is represented by the infamous sweaty Balmer video [0] of him shouting "Developers, developers, developers", is pissing of people who build on their platform.

Well Apple seems to have topped that with this and other malicious compliance shenanigans in the EU.

I can't every imagine developing an iOS/native app on that platform going forward.
