Then maybe it's time to make laws that prohibit Google and Apple from wielding this power.
We're letting the majority of customers that are okay with these decisions punish the minority.
Platforms already wield undue economic power and impose stresses on small players that the utopia of pre-smartphone web didn't have. Dealing with these fat clowns is a joke. Natural technology by itself imposes no such limits. They've enshrined themselves in market position and laws, and they're printing monkey without adding benefit or developing the features app developers are driving.
It's time Apple and Google stopped being marketplaces.

Sure, I'll agree with most of that. I think most people do, including those on the other side of the political spectrum from you. This is why the binary political system in the US is insanely ineffective.

Could you clarify this? I'm not following this sentence.
The difference with the things you're likely defending is that this app does no harm and is only being blocked for puritanical reasons. Ethically they are similar but not the same.
