    This era is such a pointless attack against the smallest niche of users. I honestly don’t get it. How much are a few techie hobbyists costing Google/Samsung’s gargantuan bottom lines? They are stepping over dollars to chase after pennies.

    Just let people who want to modify their phones. It’s already prohibitively hard that no one who doesn’t have the know-how is installing their own apps outside the stores.
