Re: Apple stepping back?
Microsoft bought Gittub, and that's where the vast majority of open source git based projects are stored. Why should they want to run their own infrastructure when Microsoft already has it?
Apple obviously runs their own infrastructure internally - they would only pull/merge from the public github store occasionally. They aren't doing their internal development off a cloud based platform.
How is Safari making Apple money? They don't charge for it, it isn't competitive advantage like say iMessage. But having more people use it would be a good thing for them even if they don't profit directly, because web developers would have to pay it more attention when considering compatibility with browsers other than Chrome.
