Let’s say the music business demands $8 per month per user for licensing fee. Apple can sell their music service for $9.99 and get some nice profits. Spotify cannot sell at $9.99 with an in app purchase as the remaining money doesn’t cover the license costs. This is the very reason Spotify charges more (if they even allow it anymore) when purchased as an iap. Apple likely has not stomped down on it because that one would be rather clear cut case for courts.
