The Spin

Narrative A

App developers are currently defenseless against the likes of Apple and Google. Both have become gatekeepers of the entire app economy, creating arbitrary policies and charges that are oppressive in intention. Change must occur, and Big Tech must be barred from holding such positions.

Narrative B

Apple's closed ownership app store model creates a secure and trustworthy environment for users. Breaking this system could be extremely damaging, and any change should only be a last resort. While the industry welcomes developer concerns, the App Store model is still best for all parties.
