Au contraire I believe Google is the most hated company on HN by a mile and half. We see this play out IRL even with their anticompetitive lawsuit outcomes

Both Apple and Google do nasty things. Other companies, too.

This thread is dedicated to Apple's own wrongdoings. If Google does nasty things, that doesn't mean Apple should get a pass.

Most people here care about consumers, not about companies, especially about monopolistic companies.

Apple allowing alternate payment methods with a fee discount in the US, as Google does in other countries, is a wrongdoing?

Consumers don’t care about the fees developers pay.

[jsnell → riscy]

It's not a fee that the developers pay. It's a fee that the customers pay.
