The HN comments are for our discussion. If you choose to latch on to portions of initial posts or comments like the latter for swipes than that's the kind of discussion we get to have. If you choose to focus most of the discussion on other lines like:

> I personally don’t agree - they’re clearly using their market power to lock consumers into their walled ecosystem. This causes there to be less competition, which increases prices and reduces innovation. DOJ seems to agree.

instead then the quality of discussion here will match.

Okay, I was being a little snarky. But that quoted portion doesn't really contradict my point; that is in no way an exploration of good reasons why Apple might want to make these choices.

It wasn't meant to contradict this point, Apple isn't supposed to want to be regulated by the DOJ.
