The normal view of economics is to make as much cash as possible, what's wrong with that?
Look at Apple: They sell you obsolete, or at least cheap, hardware for an astronomical price.
For two reasons:
1st: They can.
2nd: Consumers don't trust cheap stuff(I dont f.i., I hate Apple from the bottom of my heart though)
But let's get back to OM/Ubi vs TIR/FT
Both, FT and TIR offer their interface for free.
Implementing them is not free, you have to pay the programmer, even if it's done in short amount time.
One of the two(FT/TIR) make actually money with the interface/product they offer.
That means you can charge only one of them for implementing their interface.
Of course, they are only willing to pay if you cut the competition out - normal.
Sounds like win-win situation.
Unless, of course, your sales would suffer substantially because you only offer the interface for one device.
This last point is the only important one - this is what this freaking poll should have been about.
