This title is silently reframing the issue to change the discussion in a way that favors the viewpoint of the poster. “for payment processing and worldwide store distribution” is a more accurate headline, and specifically highlights that they’re not just paying a payment processor. This is, however, more complicated and no longer permits the easy comparison with card processing fees, and so I see many headlines show up that try to dodge this. It’s fine to disagree with app store fee structures, it’s fine to disagree with how they manage their distribution models or handle approvals or whatever — but it’s totally uncool to lie-by-omission that it’s about credit card processing fees alone.
