If open source software was brilliant I'd use it over iOS. I use what is useful to me and iOS is useful to many. You can't deny that. Android is also useful even if it is presenting itself to be open source whilst being just as closed and restrictive(do some proper research). Bitcoin is beautiful and many love being productive with their iPhone. If people didn't pay for great products you wouldn't have 1% the things you have today. The world can't and hasn't been built on 'free'.  Taking stuff just because you think people are greedy/don't deserve it/shouldn't be so big is immoral. If you want everyone to use open source software invest as much as companies like apple/google/Microsoft do and stop pretending that google is godly and apple is evil. They are all corporate and driven by profit as fair reward for initial risk/investment.

But let's not get into a iOS/android/open source debate or a debate how everyone should only use free open source software. The question is how to force apples hand to show their true cards. It would be illegal for them to deliberately squash competition for a upcoming competing product but it's possible they are using the pretense of being illegal in a specific jurisdiction.

To win the game you have to play the game. Fighting the game only gets you a punch in the face with some water canons.

Bitcoin is playing the finance game. Let's play to win.
