Folks here seem fixated on companies being able to make money when using Apple. Why is that such a policy priority? Most of these companies are scammers.
I really wish politicians and everyone would focus on USER experience here.
Apple benefits because there is a ton of crap and user harm in the marketplace that goes COMPLETELY unaddressed. We are just getting around to rules on subscription cancellation practices on the web more generally. Apple has this solved.
Additionally, with a lot of these big players, only apple has negotiating leverage, no individual user could EVER force them to accept things like hide my email or clear trial periods or non-scam cancellation policies. So USERS benefit from the power apple has in some cases.
Is it worth the apple tax? For some it is worth it even though apple has relatively small smartphone marketshare.
