All valid points. But if it was such a big concern, then why was Apple
happy to go with it. Maybe the concern is not so bad. As for bigger apps
(due to bundled dependencies).... That might have been a concern years
back, but nobody seems to care now about large apps. Hell, even websites
are now 5+MB per page downloads (massive JavaScript libraries, huge
high-res images etc). View a few pages and you have downloaded some 50MB
easily.


Because here Apple simply enforced it. This won't work in the more diverse
Linux world where users are more free to decide.

Sven
