I agree with you 100% that allowing recurring subscriptions is great news for iOS developers developing applications with certain usage profiles. The people who are complaining are people with low margin businesses, for whom giving up 30% of a sale will put them at a loss on every sale. EBook sales, music sales/subscriptions, and video streaming don't operate on huge margins like Saas does, they operate on tiny margins. Apple is also prohibiting people from raising the price of their products to account for the tax, so for anyone whose margins are less then 30%, the app store will basically be closed in a month or two. In short, app store subscriptions are great for your business - good for you! Use it and get rich. The terms are lousy for other businesses, who are going to have to pull their apps from the app store.
