Apple has lost the moral high ground because they decided to spam everyone with notifications for revenue-generating services like Apple Pay, Apple Music, Apple TV+ etc in order to increase their services revenue.
This also means they can't effectively enforce App Store guideline 4.5.4, which says:
... Push Notifications should not be used for promotions or direct marketing purposes unless customers have explicitly opted in to receive them via consent language displayed in your app’s UI...
- wodenokoto 4y agoI agree. One of the reasons why Apple says they need a walled garden approach is to ensure that we don't get spammed with promotional push notifications. So if they aren't protecting users, and are themselves sending us promotions, then they have one less argument for a walled garden app store approach.
