Is this the last gasp of a dying company?

I thought they had already died and forcing the use of a dying company’s app could be the final straw.

...The very existence of the online Apple App Store is a courtesy not a right most of the software on the App Store is filler after the first 5,000 apps, not counting games and I like Apple products. Anyone claiming they have one million apps on their App Store doesn't mean they have one million good or even necessary apps for the survival of the platform.

The same can be said about any app store on any platform. For that matter, the same can be said about any large grocery store. There are only a few good food items and the rest are garbage. But one person's garbage is another's necessity. Same with all software stores or any kind. Same with music and video stores.

People need to understand the patent trial ended in a hung jury because only one person voted against Apple. It needed to be unanimous. I believe the jury voted something like 5-1 in Apple!s favor so the vast majority of jurists understood Apple didn’t use Masimo patents. None of us were on that jury so we need to stop ragging on Apple. 

Apple might need to talk to stock holders to see if they can get backing to tell the UK and EU to take a hike. This could include not selling to the UK or EU. Yes, Apple would take a hit but these governments who want to abuse American products might need to discuss with their citizens the potential for Apple to not provide any products. Who will win? Their citizens or their government?

I've submitted incorrect Maps locations but haven't done anything with businesses. It wouldn't surprise me if an angry customer submitted the information just to get back at the restaurant. I don't know who actually provides the information about businesses to Apple Maps but I notice that not all businesses are listed on Apple Maps so it doesn't really surprise me if a few businesses have been marked incorrectly. It's just like address locations, they aren't always correct while some are nowhere near where they are supposed to be. There needs to be a disclaimer on all mapping software and apps stating that "Information is not always current or correct. Use at your own risk."
