Android exists only as a place to push ads into people’s faces, with a focus on getting ad displays into less affluent markets.
iOS exists only as a platform to sell iPhones and iPads, which naturally has a focus on affluent markets.
They’re both in the control of megacorps and I can’t figure out why people hold up Android as some kind of open source hero besides a desire to hate on Apple.







There’s some estimates that are considerably higher. Some of the official estimates calculate the cost of the object at the cost at the time of acquisition ie in 2010 a tomahawk cost $10 million but today it will cost $20 million (numbers only for example). Or they used v1 bombs at $100k but they retired them and will replace them with v2 at $400k.
The math is wobbly, to say the least.
