This is a near industry wide abusive practice.
Facebook started forcing companies to use Facebook Credits and then forced a 30% cut. Zynga balked. Zynga and Facebook came to secret arrangement. If you were smaller, you were SOL.

Netflix didn't want to pay Apple the 30% cut. Apple tried to keep Netflix. Eventually, Netflix got rid of new app store subscriptions.
EDIT: Apple offered Netflix concessions. https://9to5mac.com/2021/05/05/netflix-apple-in-app-purchase/ https://9to5mac.com/2021/05/05/netflix-apple-in-app-purchase...
Look at Amazon's bookstore which forces sellers to not offer their books at a lower price elsewhere.
