There's nothing preventing Apple Pay-level security features from being integrated with 3rd party vendors like Stripe, except Apple's desire to keep 30%. It's highway robbery compared to every other payment processor's fees and has nothing to do with security, cost of operation, or doing right by users. Apple has conned users into believing that rhetoric, but it's harming developers, which are also a type of user. No platform should ever be allowed to be the sole gatekeeper for apps on your device; that it's done for security is dishonest. And it's doubly egregious that they've tied payment processing restrictions onto it too. I don't make mobile apps so I have no skin directly in this game, but as a user who believes my devices are my own, and as a developer too, I have to stand with my fellow developers in demanding app stores do right by the people producing apps for them.
