> Reduced consumer welfare from a diminished choice set: Because of the unpredictability of app quality at entry, GDPR’s depressing effect on the number of apps available – and, in particular, its depressing effect on entry – can have a substantial effect on the value of the app choice set to consumers. This sentence is _very_ loaded with at least two assumptions that: a. The quality of apps scale with the quantity of apps (and especially that the discontinued apps were representative of the app store environment as a whole and not the worst of the worst of the bunch who had no choice but to close up shop). b. The only way to provide quality applications is by surreptitiously harvest and process user data.
