Yes I agree, one should always be grateful!

I think it is difficult to compare this to a birthday present you did not receive, though. It is more like they want you to throw away the birthday present you got last year; a present you were grateful for and that now plays an important part in your daily routine.



Exactly. Would you accept the next gift? Especially when giving the gift isn't a selfless act-- it's only given if it benefits the giver.

I don't use their APIs, and am not building a business on anybody else's platform, so it doesn't affect me personally. But if I were doing that, this would make me change my mind.
