The difference is that everyone who interacts with the App Store platform does so knowingly and voluntarily. (And Apple adds value for developers and for consumers, which means it's not technically rent-seeking.)

- ovao 8y agoUnless I misunderstand you, artists who own their music and don’t intend to be on Spotify aren’t on Spotify. When artists make the choice to sign the ownership or their music away to someone else, they face the potential consequences of that choice.
