I largely agree with you but want to highlight a few points.

> Apple doesn't have a single, consistent opinion when it comes to openness and EU regulation.

But it does have a greedy leader who can and does override everyone else.

> Apple is 165 000 people. That's a lot of people. A lot more people than comment regularly on HN

How do you know the HN numbers? I’m not doubting you, I’m curious about the data.

> and look at us! We don't agree about anything.

At the same time, anyone can join HN. There’s no “culture fit” or anything like that. It is possible to have a larger difference of ideas in a smaller pool of people.

> AFS (apple filesystem)

APFS, not AFS.

It’s a few million page views on the front page and a small fraction commenting.

Again, what’s the source of the data? Anyone can throw around vague numbers. “A few million” and “a small fraction” provide no useful information for the context.
