they arent the kind of R&D Company which really invents ground breaking changes but know how to buy out/get such inventions, design a product and sell it to people. They are extremely protective about shapes, names, user experience because they probably are Apples most important assets, even more important than iPhone, the physical product. iPhone could well be a piece of metal, but its the Apple which developed entire ecosystem around it has literally poured life into the Phone. Apple may not have invented things but can bring inventions to consumers providing great experience like nobody else.
First they patent rounded corners, next appstore trademark, amzon appstore doesn't even collide with apples as they are for two different OS'es, enough BS now.
not just about open source software, but Companies do invest billions to invent, develop, design xyz product, they would need returns for the risk, efforts, money invested by them. After all its the company which bears the risk of failed attempt, experiment, product.
Don't worry soon, somebody will direct it.
