Apple has always treated their consumers with kid gloves. As a user, I would like the choice to purchase via Apple and via the developer directly. There are apps and people I trust and there are those I do not. Apple subscriptions would still be valuable for developers that haven’t established trust yet. If an app has a poor subscription system, I just wouldn’t subscribe. That would eventually push them towards Apple or towards a better system. As consumers we are hurt because we don’t get the experience of any subscription services that are better than Apples because the decision is made for us.
