Very glad Phil remains in control of AppStore mainly because he has respect for independent software developers. Eddy Cue, Hairforce One and Apple Employee #8 see them like unsigned musicians and should not be involved with developers in anyway.
What's more is that it's clear their new boss (Tim Apple), like millions of others, is only now beginning to realize that the "gangster tactics" (of using math to restrict app functionality) is not totally about about preventing malware, ensuring privacy and protecting the brand reputation with users. He seems almost blind-sided by the world governments moving to act on a level that even Billy and Balmy didn't have to face after many years of actually killing the life's work (and thus the life) of hundreds of earlier software professionals (RIP Jay Miner).
