Maybe it doesn't matter if someone is tech savvy. There was a time when we really valued the ability to fix your own car.

I think it also means that all countries keep it at arms distance. Playing Switzerland has advantages and disadvantages.

They could rule that it's a state law issue and not a federal decision.

They'd have to allow any app to replace iMessages as their sms client.

Alternatively, you could argue that their monopoly in messaging is being unfairly applied in hardware. That would have to be brought up by a hardware vendor like One Plus.

You can argue that they're unfairly using monopoly power. Same reason why MS was forced to allow windows to switch browsers.

Founders are big thinkers and risk takers. When a company has found success, the owners prefer to focus on scaling that value rather than doubling or tripling down on the next big thing but the founders often want to keep betting it all.

Put another way, if you bet 100 and have turned it into 1,000,000 would you want to get your money out or play roulette?
