Too much power over the user devices, i hope they slapped hardly by antitrust in US & EU.
Such tiny but important news always goes under.

If the mistake is removed as a variable, the question becomes the pros and cons of Apple having that much "power".

To suggest they should get slapped by anti-trust, to me is a gut reaction.

To think what could have happened
If it was a malware and the system was there

but no question a human should absolutely be involved not that humans don’t make mistakes but at least it can recall why if need be

Hopefully the system will be improving to a degree that developers won’t feel like it’s the end of the world

I question the whole 'automated only' approach. Is it bad destoying developers reputation? Yes, but where else are you gonna ago?

There'll be cracky users, but that will die off and everything should be "back to normal" (..as normal as you can get)

it can happen to anyone, but the scale of it should of been thought out better
