@anth yes! I am combining others' separate threads, so I think I left out some context, and the lack of cohesion is part of the intent... But I'm going to circle back to this after the kids are to bed and see if I can pull it up.
@anth I'm trying to conflate Manton's Open Gardens post and Stratechery's Apple Audacity post. So in that example, open systems as in an open platform, dev-friendly.
@anth Manton's saying Apple's lockin is anti-developer, and not in users' interests, because it prevents developers/lower beings from curating the garden, I think.
