Really almost every rebuttal you offer is factually incorrect while demonstrating a lack of knowledge of the modern developer experience.

For example

> That's nonsense. What year are you from? I've heard this like 10 years ago when there only 1 or 2 current iPhone models in circulation.

What? Models? Is that how you think? Screen sizes? Resolution? That’s so… 2015.

Apple has kept consistent scaling factors across their phones, laptops, and tablets. That alone counts for a ton of saved data effort. Device ratios are also generally consistent.

Android… well, not much needs to be said. It impacts the developer experience in a substantial way.

> If you offer subscription service, like Netflix/HBO/Nest or whatever, your main goal is volume, not how wealthy your demographic is.

Ironically making my point for me without realizing it (wealthier users sub more) AND dismissing the massive market that smaller services exist in. Incredible two for one miss.

> That's like Android's moat from the start, not bolted on during some 10+ major versions like on iOS.

A moat they squandered. Look at platform tablet adoption. It’s dire for Google now.

As for “bolted on”? lol.

I know the mobile os holy wars always activate posts like this, but for some people it’s simply impossible that despite some visible missteps, Apple has been out executing Google for quite some time now.
