I agree that Apple provides a great experience, and I am an Apple user for most of my computing needs; but Apple's approach uses the user experience stick to squeeze out monopolistic benefits out of their platform when it suits them, and when it doesn't, they ignore user expereince.
1. This is a clear one, and Apple chooses to ruin user experience here. I only use Apple Mail because it's the default app.
2. Me neither. Why don't they do something for payments that is similar to how they treat password managers. A standardised way to treat payment data.
3. Apple does arbitrarily reject apps. They just signed a special deal with Amazon that bypasses the app store rules, for gods sake.
4. I agree, and Apple has come out with good ways of allowing apps to special APIs.
5. Well, what competition is it when someone has to pay 30% from their revenue?
