I actually think this is a good thing long term, but I also don't think it will last.

It seems like a set-up just for it to be knocked down after a big spectacle... Trump will come in with some anti-trust saber rattle and have it reversed... notching yet another W and leaving hipsters confused yet again as to whether they should cry or rejoice.

Trumping hipsters is an evergreen psyop.

It would be a good thing because if your Bitcoin app relies on Google or Apple distribution it's garbage architecture from the ground up. Less mobile nodes on compromised hardware and less fake L2 wallet herding sheep is good for Bitcoin.

This is a non-problem still for Android users, the more users leave the Apple eco-system the better too.

If you're building an app in Bitcoin the only correct choice is to go PWA-first, App stores for distribution are just gravy.

It's so simple, just use Nostr in the browser to connect people your REAL node with full sync abilities across multiple devices. There's no excuse.
