Telling users that your platform will allow them to run any software they like so you can quickly gain market share, only to break your word after driving competing platforms out of the market is fraud.
I'm pretty sure fraudulent marketing is still illegal.
I agree. But I can hear the defense:
> Telling users that your platform will allow them to run any software they like
That is mere puffery, no reasonable person could belive it....
When Android was made available and marketed, they didn't even have an app store.
Back then, the claim was that Android was both open and open source.
Correct, but....
