Apple’s focus is vendor lock-in. Everything in their ecosystem integrates perfectly. They’re selling devices that lock you in to their ecosystem and they get a 1/3 cut from all digital sales from competitors also using their platform.
They’re not interested in getting as many people as possible watching their shows. They’re interested in getting as many people as possible buying Apple TV devices, and then getting drawn into the Apple ecosystem.
Regard the $20bn spent on TV shows as marketing spend.
sigh. As a full apple/linux user, you are so right. The pain of extracting my family from our integration in the apple ecosystem would just be too much. They got us.
It’s not there’s no supply, it’s we’re going to provide you and force you to use only our approved methods of delivery, which has always been Apples whole gig since their inception. It’s why I refuse to use their products.
This is the purpose of “the customer is always right”. If the demand is already there but there’s no supply, that’s bad business.
