I personally dislike middleman parasites and thought the internet would allow people to directly do business with creators.
But then I have to admit the convenience of a single store.
I think Apple wants avoid a Trivalgo or Booking.com situation were people search for hotels but book a room directly on the hotel's own website for less.
- dep_b 5y agoI really can’t find a lot of places that are cheaper when booking through their own site, or even want to negotiate a deal on the phone. Apparently booking.com has them quite scared for breaking their “no lower price elsewhere” clause.
- wayneftw 5y agoI don’t think the store is very convenient. Every time I search for something, the first item I get is something else. Usually the opposite of what I want. Sometimes the first few items that I get are something else. Also it’s slow on some of my devices for some reason.
