We need more app developers communicating this stuff. I've seen a lot of the bigger brands reporting on it, but they've got to be the tip of the iceberg. People need to know how much harm Apple is doing.
I let myself get upset yesterday about how confusing Apple made TV OS's interface a few months ago. It intentionally mislabels "home" such that it takes you to their wrapper around all the other streaming platforms where they prioritize their own TV+ content and gather data on everything you're watching. There's no longer an obvious way to navigate to all the other streaming apps like Prime and Netflix that don't want to submit to this power grab. You have to go to "home" and then press the back button to see the real "home" screen with the apps.

I think this is what they call "Dark Patterns".
If it's not, it's Dick Patterns at minimum.
