Let me repost what I wrote elsewhere in this thread:
The point is not that the App Store isn't an online service (although I would argue that it more "relies on" an online service), but that its role as part of the OS supersedes that.

- r0m4n0 4y agoOk yea agreed. I think it’s more than one thing, including an internet service
