Please don't attack services in general. There's nothing wrong with selling your OWN services. Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade are examples of good services where Apple are commissioning and paying content producers. The services are good value, good quality and have competition on a level playing field (e.g. Netflix directly compete against both and don't have to pay a commission to Apple despite both their games and video services appearing on the App Store). Other services from Apple like cloud storage, Apple News and Apple Music are more debatable value but they have competition so if you don't like them, use something else. The App Store is different because you don't have an alternative. It is a parasitic system where where 70% of revenue (not a guess, that's the real number according to emails in the Epic lawsuit) comes from loot box grifting in games and there's literally no alternative to Apple's 30% tax. It is a poison chalice from top to bottom. It comes down to the monopoly.
