   In an open source tool for which Apple played no role.

   Interesting construction: "are said to be".

   Cite, please!

   Nope. I don't realize that... ....because no one has shown that to be   
   the case..   
      
   > 6. You may even understand that's billions of exposed Apple devices.   
      
   Same comment.   
      
   > 7. And you may be aware that estimates are that it's three million apps.   
      
   Really? Where's that from?   
      
   > 8. Every single one of which is installed ONLY on Apple devices alone.   
      
   Which is irrelevant to the actual question of how many "Pods" that are   
   unclaimed are used in actual apps.   
      
   > 9. Meaning it's purely the Apple ecosystem which allowed this to happen.   
      
   Ummmmmm... you sure about that?   
      
   No other development environment uses dependency management tools?
