> Plus, bringing up flash was to further explain my point, which is, Apple getting rid of certain technologies in the computer sector as if they are the leader of the market which they are not

I'm not sure the Flash argument really supports that point honestly. Leader of the market or not, Apple's refusal to support Flash on iOS was a major contributor to Flash's slide into irrelevance.

Although it would have probably happened anyway considering that Flash for Android was briefly a thing, and very much did prove the hypothesis that Flash on low powered mobile devices was a terrible idea.



If they get rid of tech, and they're not the leader in the market, well, it's their minority market share, their minority revenue, and as a non-monopoly, they have every right.


No one said they don't have the right to do that. The discussion here is how that affects people who are using their devices and how much unnecessary problems they are now facing.


None at all if you keep using what worked when you got the devices and apps. If it’s not obsolete (the general argument here), don’t replace the OS under it.
