    you definitely don't understand anything about app development (or much
    else). such a requirement would completely destroy the industry.

    Not a big deal and you have no clue about anything outside your little
    Apple world.

    it has nothing to do with apple and your attempt to twist it into
    something it's not shows just how untenable your position is.

    forcing open source will destroy the software industry as well as
    having a significant adverse effect on the hardware industry.

    LOL. macOS and iOS, I think, are based on an open source OS and many other
    open source utilities. Safari's webkit is also open source.

    OSS may destroy a few companies, which is probably a good thing, but the industry will be fine. It would need to adapt, but it would be fine.
