IT's not unfavorable to introduce a feature at the OS level and then release it to developers when its stable and ready for prime time.

The brightness control that apps have now is a result of exactly this kind of process.

Only thing "unfavorable" about the way Apple acts exists in the perception of people who already have an axe to grind.

Maybe more constructive than just banning would be to approach a solution together with the initial developer. Honoring his innovative approach and eventually granting him temporarily a slight advantage in exchange for bringing his innovative idea to the ecosystem instead of just playing copycat...
