I thought this had already been decided and not granted.  What am I missing?

The first request for a stay was to the original judge. This request is to the circuit Court of Appeals. 

The original judge was unlikely to grant a stay. The appeals court is the appropriate court to grant a stay, and it seems likely it will do so. 

Except that is not what the title says: "Apple again asks Court of Appeal to stay Epic Games injunction" ie Apple previously went to the Court of Appeals and was refused.  I again ask what am I missing?

You don’t exhaust your appeals until you get to the US Supreme Court where they will either accept to hear the case or not. Or they might send it back down to a lower court.

You do know the thing Apple is appealing has a comply by date of Dec 2021, right?

Finally someone is listening.  I understand this is basically a Hub, not a dock but if there was a dock version of this with Ethernet, SD reader, etc.. then I would buy one.

There are tens of these available. Here's a Satechi model:



Other models have 2.5" HDD options in something this size. It's only the OWC that has a 3.5"HDD. 6, 8, 10, 16 TB drive capacity. That's great. And you can stack two or three! I've had so many HDD failures lately.

Some developers opposed to the practice claim Apple's placements are hurting business.
... the customer experience suffers when purchasing through the App Store, saying, "When you buy with the developer, they have a relationship with you ... when you buy from Apple: sorry, you're Apple's customer, not ours, and if you have a problem with a subscription we can't really help them."
Read on AppleInsider

Why would developers think, in their wildest imaginations, that I would trust a small developer when I can't trust big developers with my personal information, like FaceBook? How stupid can they be? If they want my money they can go through Apple.

Your opinion is irrelevant in the sense that every developer in a world of duopoly should have the rights to directly engage with their customers and build insights around them, rather than being blocked through Apple.
I actually consciously purchase directly from developers - especially professional software - to not only support them, but also benefit from more direct customer support with a thorough understanding of their customer base. Apple does not provide the same experience and support by a long shot.

It is the "secret" part of this story that is so alarming. If Apple was really trying to help their developers, this would be something they would use in their developer marketing. Apple never mentioned this program even once before it became public knowledge.
