@MotwaniSuhas Verge/DaringFireball comment section can be called closer to Apple community that discussions.apple (support has different dynamics and is not a community, 99% posts are by people who never come back after problem is fixed)
I separated Azure+Github from MS for a reason.

@MotwaniSuhas There are products which have a clear producer-consumer boundary.
Apple, MS (consumer products) are that.
Communities can exist (organic 3rd party ones always do). But those are "user-groups" in that sense.

@MotwaniSuhas Azure, Github, Flutter, Android (the app developers) these are not products, they are platforms.
And platforms evolve out of a symbiosis between the insiders and the outsiders (with often a porous membrane in between - the community leaders, mods, who often switch sides).

@MotwaniSuhas The community in that case is an essential, fundamental, core part of the product and the experience, and thus the business.
And the community and support forums are not the same thing. Some conflate them, and end up with bad experience of both dynamics
