You aren’t the center of other people’s lives. How is any old arbitrary user to know you’re not a con of a dev?

Software sales are contrived fiat exchange to give your code access to my hardware and userspace. Who the f are you?

Is Apple some immutable scientific center of reality? No. But neither are you. It’s not a question of Apple is or isn’t but a statement “you are not”.

Apple suddenly vanishing would actually have a much more dramatic effect on millions than 1,000 random open source freelancers vanishing.
