That’s an odd take, I think you are looking at it wrong. IMO, this is the hacker news community getting embarrassed. After all this is a community of entrepreneurs, where everyone has an app and many multiple, on the App Store and so we must have known how it works. No one is redeeming Apple here, if anything I am thinking how easy it is to fall into this groupthink hole and not even bother to check because “we” have to rail against someone because of perceived/alleged wrong doing against the whole community.
