Little bit confused as I thought being open Android App Store instead of closed iOS App Store was supposed to mean this is totally not a problem?

That’s the gist in the anti-Apple anti-walled-garden threads common during the Epic tussle; though some less popular comments have sounded skeptical, referencing stories like this.

From this thread, sounds like Android gets you 15% of the consumer wallet share for app spend compared to iOS 85% wallet share of app spend, but still has enough distribution curation woes to “destroy our startup”?

What’s the attraction then? Or is this melodramatic?
