There's a lot of insane things about modern operating systems. For example, some OSes don't even let you buy software without first paying the hardware manufacturer. Crazy stuff, we should really encourage regulators to bring these companies to their knees.

It's certainly crazy if you don't know better. The 48 billion in revenue the Play Store hit last year would tell you that regardless of security policy, people tend to use first party app stores on mobile.

But you know what? Maybe instead we should discourage people from clumsily trying to push their pet agenda the moment their favorite sports team (erm excuse me, Operating System) is painted in a poor light.

But we can't all get what we want can we?
