There’s a lot of that I think with mastodon apps.
I suspect it’s devs who want to get paid at some point, which on one hand is fair but also raises interesting concerns about how open/FOSS software dev needs to work with respect to money.
Beyond that, there was some speculation I saw that the iOS dev space is just more interested in designing social media apps. No idea how true that is.
