There is no way this 30% tax will last forever, so might as well make the future happen a little faster by forcing Apple to open up the platform.

  Forcing them to open the platform is just a way to damage Apple and give Google a competitive advantage. It has nothing to do with the 30%, which for some reason nobody complains about on the Play store, and also for some reason Google doesn’t compete by reducing.

    First of all, it could be argued that it would actually be beneficial for Apple to give up on their 30% because it would make iOS much harder to dethrone, which in the long run is much more valuable than cash. Secondly, nobody complains on the 30% Play store tax because you can easily dodge it, see for instance... Apple Music.

      Netflix dodged the Apple 30% tax in the same way Apple dodges the Google play tax. This clearly cannot be the reason nobody complains about it. And of course a lot of people are not complaining about the commission on subscriptions, but the commission on purchases.
