Thats a big oof. Imagine buying this thing, going into the Appstore and not even finding YouTube and Spotify! Would immediately dampen my mood.

This feels a bit like Smartwatches (Android Wear and Apple Watch) all over again for me. Where already at launch the third party "App" selection was really underwhelming with Major Apps like Youtube, Spotify, ... absent and it never getting much better.

But I get it. Apple always talks a big game about how much they love developers and how awesome they are but in reality they treat them like shit. Now Apple needs them and they give Apple this middle finger. Rightfully so!
