When will companies learn that you don't fuck with developers.
When it actually backfires. Right now, no company was actually hurt by doing stuff like this - quite the opposite, they get a boost since they close down their ecosystem further forcing people to buy their stuff.
There will be "boycotts" but in reality it will blow over in two to four weeks, with people forgetting "an outrage" that didn't reach 99% of their target users at all.
