Look at PC gaming for an example of how this choice is NOT in the hands of consumers. If a developer gets paid by Epic to have an Epic store exclusive, how does the consumer win here? I have to decide between getting a game (that I want to get and want to give my money to the developer for) at the time I want at the cost of using Epic's buggy and shady launcher. It isn't Apple's job to hold my hand, but I certainly appreciate them dealing with the hundreds of developers whose products I interact with, creating a "code of conduct" that I can trust and know developers will abide by (99.9% of the time)

> Look at PC gaming for an example of how this choice is NOT in the hands of consumers. This doesn't make any sense. It is already the case that if someone only publishes the app on android, and don't publish it on the iPhone, then you as a consumer can't buy it on the apple app store. Are you going to argue that your choice is being taken away, because a developer only put it on android? That is no different than if they put it on a different iPhone app store.
