It's sort of surprising that Apple engages in SDOs at the (ultra low level) that they do, although I suppose there's a lot of benefits in keeping the lights on in the Potempkin village.
The real mystery is why SDOs haven't evicted them. The basis for modern web SDOs hinges on the ability for competitors to ship without restraint, creating demand for cooperation. But when it's all window dressing, surely there should be some minimal self-preservation instinct?
