Let this be another nail in the coffin of the "walled garden" farce.We learn this lesson again and again. People want someone to trust, but a bureaucracy isn't trustworthy.

If you want someone to vet your apps, it has to be someone whose interests are actually aligned with yours, not just whoever is big enough to force everybody through the tollgate into their store.
