I keep wondering if Apple wants to kill OSX and take everything toward iOS, totally jailed everything, and the cloud.<p>I know if they did they&#x27;d lose me as a customer for anything other that (maybe) phones, but maybe they don&#x27;t care about that market.<p>The only way they wouldn&#x27;t would be if they grew up iOS into something you can do real work with -- allowed end user app installation, emulators and VMs, containers with full Darwin installs that could run homebrew, etc.<p>It could be done, even without sacrificing ordinary user experience -- just hide the advanced stuff from regular users and require a little magic incantation to unlock it. But it would run counter to the padded room you-don&#x27;t-own-your-device philosophy of mobile so I can&#x27;t see the iOS team going that way without being pushed from above.<p>Of course they <i>have</i> been updating OS X fairly well, so maybe not. Maybe the poor App Store experience is just like the poor Podcast app and other things -- an internal problem with motivation, direction, and focus in certain areas. Organizations can easily forget about things that are important but not &#x27;hot&#x27;.
