Competition is good. Purchasing a third-party which produces stuff for a competitor’s platform and then axing that support is a Microsoft kind of move, and one which will only cause Apple to want to keep much more development in-house only. Why rely on third-party developers if anyone wanting to compete can just buy it all up and remove its support?
