@nitinkhanna I think that post-iPhone the more tech-inclined companies are looking to differentiate themselves on the software side by owning their own platform. Even if they use a commodity OS like Android they'll want to put something custom on top.

Spent $50 (!!) on an eBook, only to find out it's DRM-locked in a reader. Then spent an hour trying to get it out into a plain format. 😑

Somebody inserted a backdoor [openwall.com] in the `xz` Debian package.

The more impressive part is the social engineering [boehs.org] that it took to get it in.
