Before anyone goes applauding Apple’s monopoly here, they should consider the developer experience as well. There is absolutely no innovation from Apple’s side. The API’s are horrible and can barely do rudamentary things like server side cancelling of subscriptions. Sometimes they change logic in their webhooks without warning, and there is absolutely no support to speak of. We can’t even trigger refunds on the users behalf! We have to make due with really bad revenue reports, and App Store connect is incredibly slow to work with. Market forces should push Apple to improve, but thanks to their power over their own market they don’t. In the end it will hurt users too.
