Good ruling, however, I think it's fair that if the app is listed in a store, they can require that in-app payments are via the store. For downloads from other sources, this doesn't have to be a requirement. I don't think G&A should be obligated to showcase products for which they don't receive the revenue as vendors would simply shift the payment inside the app.
A bigger ruling would be to require Apple to allow downloads from other sources, a feature which exists on Android. I don't think the security argument really holds, moreover, people should be able to have the choice.
