      What’s stupid about that? Apple’s been doing it for decades and no one cares enough to actually do anything about it.

        They’ve done with with platforms that were already created like that: which is iOS. They never closed macOS completely because the outcry would be huge and it would disrupt all the existing stakeholders of it and ultimately lose a significant market share.

        It’s actually one reason they won’t allow macOS to run in an iPad: the iPad apps ecosystem is completely controlled by them, while macaOS’s isn’t.
