The point is to protect Apple's control over its APIs and business model. I'd be shocked if they're not busy figuring out how to use LLMs to shore up app review right now.

The war on general-purpose computing isn't good for human well-being. All of this stuff concentrates power in ways that are genuinely terrifying. Maybe the point is that we notice it, and understand the suffering it causes?
