While different App Stores is preferable, this actually is a big improvement for users and developers alike Many users simply don't want to share their payment details with App Stores because they don't like "one payment serves all" setups. They want to be asked each time for their payment details because they feel that gives them control Likewise, many users already have payment arrangements with providers like Paypal that they trust, and don't want to add one more trusted payment provider to their list As a developer, I want to offer all options to users - App Store payment, Paypal, CC, and anything else So I like where this law is going, and I have no doubt it increases the chances of other legislations imposing further "restrictions on what is not allowed" on mobile devices
