I see two problems in Shadduck's logic:

1) short product lifecycle complicates development when "integrating new services and features" effectively changes the phone and can require extensive rewrite of applications, and

2) consumers do not want to keep re-purchasing applications each time they upgrade phones and balk at upgrade fees for the rewritten compatible app (which keeps food on the developers' tables).

No wonder the revenues are sagging.
