I asked what your understanding was, not what Apple actually was thinking, and you absolutely can say what you believe about Apple and their intentions; this goes to Theory of Mind that is a cornerstone of being a functional person.
> give me a break ... not a good faith ... reply is not serious .. bad faith, insulting reply
It's now clear to me that you have unstated reasons because when calmly asked to explain your reasons you went off crazy like this rather than simply state those beliefs. You feel it's a burden, but why is effort so minimal a burden? You won't say.
Your expression of concern over the blog author's character, your inability to explain your views, and those views being irrational leads me to conclude that you are simply white-knighting.
I can't read Apple's mind. You can't either.
> Large developers also have to resubmit their very unpopular, obscure apps every three years.
Oh give me a break. I'm done here, this is not a good faith argument.
> Explain why you feel a few minutes every three years is a burden.
A few minutes. Again, this is not a good faith argument. Your reply is not serious.
> Literally the only thing Apple is requiring you do is recompile your unpopular app and submit it as an update once every three years.
Your reply is contradicting itself, because you claim Apple's intention is to get rid of apps, but you also claim that it's incredibly easy to not get removed.
> Frankly this view that hobbyists are oppressed by needing to recompile once every three years reads like an insult.
Do you think the original article author was insulting herself?
What a bad faith, insulting reply.
