How does that benefit users.
The App Store has gotten so bad it's become a place to visit find what you need and leave as quickly as possible. Finding new stuff is a horrible experience that yields little fruit. The advertising started out as a small nuisance and that has expanded to a half screen sized block showing what you did "not" search for.
Apple is certainly managing things better than most Fortune 100 companies but quite honestly from a User Experience context most of these companies are failing. I never thought in a million years Microsoft would screw Office up to the point where it's cringe to use but we are here.
I hope the young kids getting into Computer Science realize the black hole that a lot of these companies chasing Wall Street valuations have fallen into an aspire to return to the roots of what propels most human advancement and that's doing things motivated by the greater good.
