They’re so odd with acquisitions like they don’t want to be seen to buy up something that people can see in their product just the smaller firms that enable the technologies. They could have bought this crowd out but chose to be cunts.
I think it’s less a public opinion thing (since when has Apple shown shame about pretending to invent things their competitors have had for 10+ years?)
…and more of a stealth acquisition thing so the government doesn’t catch on until they’re too big to break up. See Microsoft for another example.
Apple being massive unethical assholes…what a surprise.
