Man, there's all these things standing in the way of success! I'd better not even try.

Come on, seriously? There's risk involved in pretty much every venture, and you can't exactly control the actions of outside entities. If I kept avoiding tasks because there was a chance of it being screwed over by someone else, I'd never get anything done.




This risk can't be mitigated. One guy wakes up on the wrong side of the bed and bam, 99% of potential customers (everyone who doesn't have a jailbreak, assuming that remains possible) are out of your reach for no real reason. Every developer needs to be aware that Apple bargains like Darth Vader.
