Apple is not good at negotiating, and never has been.
They're good at dictating, which only works when they have all of the power.
When they actually need to *negotiate*, it's like when I suddenly needed to study in college: they have no idea how, they think they know everything and reject the possibility that they may not, they're not willing to do anything they don't feel like doing, and so they usually fail.

  So, so much of the visionOS experience could be vastly improved if Apple just convinced Netflix and YouTube to release their native apps. Two companies. Apple, you can figure out a deal with two companies, surely? Don't you have a master negotiator SVP? Why would you spend 7 years and billions of dollars developing a product and not be able to convince two partners to ship apps they already have?
