"Does the world's largest company really get to decide how millions of other businesses can interact with their own customers?“

Yes they can, because it is their ecosystem. Maybe you should have read their guidelines before developing the world’s umpteenth email app and submitting it to the App Store. 

You obviously didn't understand what the hell is  talking about.  Did you actually read the original post?  Here's the entire context surrounding that sentence;

"But personally, as the owner of a business, this isn’t just about money. Money grabs the headlines, but there’s a far more elemental story here. It's about the absence of choice, and how Apple forcibly inserts themselves between your company and your (the developer's) customer.

Does the world’s largest company really get to decide how millions of other businesses (ie: developers) can interact with their own (again, referring to developers')  customers? In fact, Apple’s policy distances you from your customer."

His implication is, is that with respect to the app or service, the consumer is the developer's customer not Apple's and that the developer has the right, without interference, to manage the relationship between the developer and user of the app or service.  And he has a good point.  And you can bet that the coming investigation or hearing will take this into account.  The major issue is not the 30% cut although no doubt that will play a part in it as well.  

So he wants to take away the relationship that I have paid quite a lot for (to Apple) to know that I'm getting good, safe/secure, apps via the Apple AppStore; with no problems with scammers (or stupid programmers getting hacked) stealing money from my account?

I'm paying a ridiculous amount of money to Apple to get the products/services that I'm getting, and I would personally prefer if not some entitled dipshit f*cks that up just because he personally is craving money and attention.

"if not some entitled dipshit f*cks that up just because he personally is craving money and attention."

Wake me up when you've built a $25+ million a year business from scratch.  Those users paying for the app / service are as much as his customers as they are of Apple's he's entitled to the control the end-to-end relationship of the customers of his app.  Every business is entitled to that other wise they won't be around long enough.  But you would know that if you accomplished such a thing.

With the number of Huawei cheerleaders both here and in Europe I wonder what happens when it’s proven without a doubt that Huawei tech is used for espionage by the CCP? Think about it and use common sense. For a brutal, totalitarian dictatorship the temptation is simply too irresistible to ignore, especially when there will be no repercussions when it is proven.

I wonder if the iPhone that the FBI is trying to break into is the one that the shooter shot up. It would seem that even if could boot up to the login screen, it's behavior would be hard to predict. Maybe the Secure Enclave was compromised when he shot it up. The other iPhone should not have presented a problem, if I remember the original story. Also, if I remember correctly, the FBI wants to get the phone up so they can access WhatsApp with the shooter's credentials. If the shooter felt he had to shoot up a phone, I would think it would be the one that had the keys to the kingdom.
