I can see why they're concerned that they can't update the app, but they're playing in a walled garden and they knew that from the get-go.

I think this is a pretty weak complaint and it lacks any real substance.

That's the thing I miss most about Microsoft's dominance though : no walled garden.

Now apple has a heavy handed walled garden, and Google has a heavy-handed one (chrome/chromeos) and a "light" one, in android. All ... well, suck.

If Microsoft thought they could get away with a walled garden then they would do it in a flash.

They're trying that with Windows 10 S.

Sort of.

So it's similar to Google's Android, although with the caveat that it's much easier for companies to have sideloaded company apps.
