This Apple only nonsense is driving me nuts.

I pay OpenAI $200 a month, and use Codex all the time, but just installed the crappy ChatGPT app for Android, and just use it from the mobile web browser, because it's over a month behind on super common features that launched on iPhone on day one.

Same thing with Sora 2 being Apple only. What craziness is that? Why are developers leaning so hard into supporting closed source ecosystems and leaving open source ecosystems behind?

This never has anything to do with open source vs. closed source, or anything like that. It always has to do with prioritizing the cohort that's most likely to pay money.

It's been shown over and over again in A/B testing that Apple device users will pay higher prices for the same goods and services than non-Apple users will. They're more likely to pay, period, versus free-ride.

As an Android user, it frustrates me sometimes. But I understand. I'm far more frugal with my online spending than most of my Apple user friends, myself.
