Apple history doesn't start in 2009. It starts in the 1970s. Clones are a big deal/threat to platforms: Atari went under after Activision broke open their platform (admittedly with better games). Nintendo protects their platforms with an iron fist. Apple learned to do so after their near-death experience in the 1990s. Ancient history helps us understand why companies act the way they do now.
