But you're kinda proving my point. I don't disagree with having pride in your work and obsessing over details, but as you say, it won't matter in the end. And so, many will probably find themselves disappointed with the Duo, as there is little reason for developers to care. And then many won't.

I’m saying it does matter in the end. Partly because small numbers still count, partly because the “who cares” attitude gets infectious and impacts everything. App makers aren’t just going to ignore the Duo while making everything else perfect. They’re going to ignore the Duo and ignore graphical glitches and have terrible launch time and terrible accessibility and on and on. At the end of the day, they may have enough of a captive audience that they still make good money, but that’s not the same as it not mattering at all. A good app is a competitive advantage, even if the effect is just in the margins.

And my point is more about us as individuals. As a user I want better apps. As a developer I care about doing things well, which translates directly into career success.
