I perceive Apple struggling with the payments and cuts it takes...even during normal (“non-pandemic” for readers from the far future) times there doesn’t seem to be a simple, clear and consistent explanation for what or who merits exceptions from paying the 30% commission (and related rates for subscriptions).
This news sounds like Apple taking some more time to think things through and come up with better plans (plans for itself and payment plans for developers on its platforms) before the judiciary or lawmakers cripple its systems way beyond its tolerance for changes.
There will be more permanent “concessions” coming soon, without admitting in any shape or form that the current system doesn’t make sense and is exploitative for some/many developers (not Facebook, which I believe with its vile history, can easily eat the commissions if it really cares about its users).
