yes, just like that.. except nothing at all like segregation.

When people get in bed with Apple they know exactly what to expect.. it's not like this is suddenly some new behavior of Apple after years of being completely open and none interfering. In this app, there was a secret way to access the BASIC interpreter which is a no-no by Apple's rules.
If people don't like this, they are free to get a different phone, or use a different character.
Now, people may think "hey I bought this phone, I should be able to do whatever I want with it!".. That is an entirely different argument though, and my understanding, is different in different countries and laws and what have you.

But to have continued shock and outrage over apple doing something not friendly to it's customers or developers is nothing new, but you know why people put up with it? because they are satisfied with the user experience, and developers are lured by the millions of paying customers and the hope of getting a piece of that money pie.
