Sad to see Apple turn into this closed loop.


It is Apple, what did you expect?


Open sourced Swift—is that Apple or not, in your opinion?


I think open sourcing a language you built is rather different from acquiring companies and locking out competition.

Apple has more incentive to open source Swift than they do to let anyone use content from a company they acquire (remember FoundationDB's fate?). I think Authentec went the same route but I am uncertain.
