Sounds obvious now that you said it.
Anyone dispute the agent/collective bargaining framing before I internalize it forever? :)

Yea, whether we like it or not, app developers (as a general group, not you, the individual good guy) have proven themselves to be generally bad actors and unfortunately need to be treated as attackers. The more I hear developers complain about a platform not letting them do this or that, the more at ease I am about running software on that platform.
I think the principal-agent / collective bargaining framework is correct, but I would dispute that the principals (the users, not app developers) are upset by how it works.
