Mhh, I see. Yeah, Apple is becoming even more and more a walled garden. Feels like this is part of _their_ business model: to stay the most walled garden ever created.

But I think it's not necessarily a bad business model. Just not one I personally would like to buy into as a customer who likes too much to tinker with stuff.
