Bureaucrats and their good intentions. Apple is not even close to being a monopoly on the market of smartphones. And the reason their products work so well (despite some lapses in last 6-7 years) is integration. Creating the whole banana as Jobs used to say. This makes me feel sick, as sick as I was having to jump through hoops installing European Windows which had its browser and media player removed because of European Union's bureaucrats and their good intentions. I don't even like Microsoft. But what I like even less is people with zero technical skill and understanding of managing ecosystems forcefully ruining the efforts of those who succeeded with theirs through incompetent regulation.
