Which he has every right to do so.

Yes, he does. But he also spend years complaining that Apple wasn't allowing him to publish the emulator and then suddenly when Apple decides to allow it instead of going for it he seems to be focusing all his efforts into creating an alternative app store.

To me it looks like he wasn't expecting anyone for fork and publish his work and instead he could launch his own app store and use the emulator as a way to get people into it... almost as "greedy" as Apple.

This hurts developers (especially small ones) and shows why competition is needed.

I totally agree with you, but that besides the point here. Actually I believe everyone should be able to load any app into without any certificates, validation, stores etc.
