"Love it or leave it" - why not make it better?

It's constantly getting better. If it wasn't then competitors would surpass it, but they never have.

Allowing support for a rich ecosystem of mediocre smart watches does not move the needle on making it better for me personally. And Apple probably has done the market research to confirm most of their customers are like me and not like Pebble users.

I'm sure. The customers they do not have are like Pebble users, and they don't want customers like Pebble users. They want customers like Apple Watch users.

It is a bit 'masque of the red death' to defend anti-competitive practices, is all I'm saying.

How is it anti-competitive for Apple to pick its own customers? A decade ago, Android used to argue that open was better. Now, people seem to argue that closed should be illegal.
