Apple has more restrictive policies within a walled garden. Google gives more freedoms but its platform is wild and open. It&amp;#x27;s easy for Apple to take advantage of Google&amp;#x27;s ecosystem and open policies, but very difficult for Google to do the same to Apple. It&amp;#x27;s similar to how US companies don&amp;#x27;t get a fair shake in China. And in both, the citizens get taken advantage of and the little people have no power. Did any of what I just said make any sense?</text></comment>

While they maintain that app store must be compensated for all the services they do to developers, When given a chance they do not agree with their above statement.&lt;p&gt;I feel w.r.t app stores, Google is User-centric, but Apple is Apple-Centric at the expense of their customers. They use users as pawns, to bully the best for Apple, rather than their customers (you and I).&lt;p&gt;edit: To explain &amp;quot;user centric&amp;quot; better&lt;p&gt;Because of Apple&amp;#x27;s rules, you cannot just sign-up from Netflix app in iOS. You have to sign up in their Browser and then sign in. And Netflix is not allowed to even specify that in the app. Absolutely confusing, for normal users. Very bad user experience.&lt;p&gt;That is what I say when they are holding you as pawns. Apple is okay for you and I to go through that confusing experience, instead of allowing Netflix to tell them that users have to sign up in the browser.</text></comment>
