Remove all third-party apps from the ecosystem. How long do iDevices survive in this scenario? Even now that it's already such a behemoth of a platform? Now do

  Yes they do. I don’t think I was arguing the opposite. On the contrary. I think it’s a relationship. But one where Apple from day 1 have set the expectations on what and how they want that to work. In the end it’s their platform. Developers make the choice to create apps there and they are not happy with the rules. (Ignoring the Apple Watch keyboard and other features stealing issues here as Apple are 110% at fault there). What my arguments is: Apple want their devices to have a specific feel and UX - so they enforce rules for iAP. But it’s the feel of an Apple product and customers vote with their money they like that feel. I know you can make the case of let ppl vote when you have alternative forms of payment but we all know that if that is allowed a certain part of the UX will be hurt. Apple simply do not want to compromise their “vision”, “magic” , “feel” or whatever they want to call it so that developers earn more money.
