Dunno man - I just looked at your comments… Let’s just say it looks like you have a strong viewpoint about a certain company.

It didn’t install itself. It came as part of an OS release. Even Linus distros do that.
And promotion of what exactly? They announced that this would be a new feature of the OS.
The idea that they aren’t allowed to add apps with new releases makes no sense at all.

Silently? It was announced and loudly advertised as a new feature of iOS 17. They showed it on stage in their keynote, put it on their website, in press releases, and put it in the release notes of the specific release.
It's hard to know how much less silent this could have been.
It's also hard to know how Apple adding features to the OS can be considered either greedy or a 'breach'.

For them adding nice new functionality they promised to the device?
