Right you are! My mistake on including them as an example there. I should fix that.
Edit: While they're not taking the same fee (honestly, 5% is pretty great!), they are the original company recognized for their "embrace, extend, extinguish" strategy. I'm super impressed with Microsoft's turnaround on open source, but I'm still leery of them long-term, especially if leadership changes down the road.
He's not right. Windows comes with "telemetry" (read spyware) you cannot disable (unless you got a corporate version). Also UEFI has not exactly been without controversy.
What does collecting telemetry have to do with walled garden ecosystems that are used to squeeze every ounce of profit out of developers? Doesn't even makes sense.
So you think, sure Microsoft may lock users out of control of their own computers when it serves their monetization interests but they would never do anything so crass as control third party developer access in order to squeeze profit out of them?
Ex-Microsofty Gabe must have been pretty paranoid when he decided to bootstrap a linux based gaming platform out of fear of being locked out by Microsoft.
