> For instance, Apple Music, which has gotten over 50 million paying users not by being the best music app but by being pushed heavily by Apple as the platform owner. Apple Music has more music, a longer free trial and integration with iTunes which lets you upload your own music and sync it to all your devices among other features. By one estimate it converts free users into subscribers at 3X the rate of Spotify.[1] That’s a sign of happier customers, not just being pushed by the platform. Worth mentioning they pay artists more too. And what are you saying, Warren would let Apple run the store but would have to break off Music into a separate entity? All their other bundled apps too like Maps? I didn’t get that from the proposal.. and it doesn’t strike me as consumer friendly.
