Nice sentiment.
I know everybody loves to use the hyperbolic war metaphor like it’s a war of attrition against enemies or a zero sum gain.
It ain’t. Apple’s app store business is an evolving business and will do just fine.
Using the preferred vernacular, Apple has a giant war chest, is brimming with weapons, and could buy all its enemies outright if it wanted to. Battling them in courtrooms is just a legal tactic as it strategically makes its walls higher and thicker and more impervious to attacks from pirates, thieves and government careerists. AARgh!
