Tim Sweeney's perspective on Apple's abusive practices is interesting and of course spot on:

Epic games is breaking the walls of super walled garden .. which actually is good for Apple .. few get it !

I’ve always been amazed at what they’re achieving with Unreal Engine. Those people are so talented.

After owning the iPhone X I had a feeling I needed to leave Apple behind forever.

Glad I did

leaving doesn't really help the masses though. you really need to fight.

This argument has been presented to me previously in life, when I decided to leave my country due to shitty politics. "Stay and fight".

Without getting too personal, my childhood required me to fight daily. It was rough.

Therefore, I tend to go where there's peace.

I’m conflicted because apple does also tend to set clear rules and seems to be the antidote to antitrust takeovers like WhatsApp (how do you at a granular level prevent scraping and importing of contacts?)

By not using WhatsApp

The point is they share data with Facebook including scraping contacts

There isn’t a meaningful way to opt out, whereas apple keeps granular kinds of permissions
