They didn't go wrong. They are making money - the most important thing.

That they hurt developers that got them there in the first place? Who cares.

Then even few years ago I heard: "If you don't like that platform, create your own!" I wonder where that crowd is now.

I mean this fee has been there since forever no? Early on not even the iOS updates were free. You can argue about the merits of the fee but don't frame it as some recent change that disparages early adopters.
