> Apple can decide one day to simply stop paying you because, hey, they can afford the years of litigation to resolve it.
OpenAI and Microsoft also can do the same. Microsoft would be ecstatic to hurt Apple in any way. Also Apple has also no history of doing this with any of the providers they use.
> Benjamin Moore (the paint company) maintains its own stores. They have not (and probably will not) sell their products through Home Depot or Lowe's. Why?
Because Home Depot has their own brand, Behr. Each Behr color explicitly says what Benjamin Moore color it's copying, and they take 100% of the revenue as a direct alternative. Do you have any sources on this being a Benjamin Moore decision?
> It's why Apple ditched Google Maps for the (still inferior) Apple Maps.
How do you define "still inferior"? How many times a day do you use Apple Maps? Do you have any benchmarks that compare the two?
