>The more Apple and Google are forced to line item their charges for users, showing what each charge is for, the closer we get to a free market. Historically line itemization makes it harder, not easier, for users to understand what they're being charged for. Compare Verizon versus Google fi statements, for example. The complexity hidden in all those fees confuses people, and let's Verizon (and others) claim monthly fees are X in ads, then listing that fee as X, then tacking on a lot of line items that make the actual payment much more. Be careful what you wish for.
