And yet the iTunes and App Stores are both built with it, as is a chunk of Apple Music.

It's a pity it's been neglected so long; there were some nice touches in there (bindings, EOF, some of the tooling when it wasn't crashing) that I'd love to see modern versions of.

Does that mean Cupertino has already rewritten iTunes and App Store and Apple Online Store? I'm guessing they're going to keep the WebObjects style URLs for compatibility with old versions of iTunes and App Store.

I've suspected for years that if iTunes Store/App Store were still on WO at all, it was a forked in-house customized WO.

No it wasn't. Apple Online Store was vanilla. But iTunes Store at least used the Project Wonder libraries which is almost a fork in of itself.
