For-profit companies (especially large ones) are machines whose primary function is to make profits. Anything else they do along the way (employ people, make products, provide services, trash the environment, etc) is a side effect.

- bilbo0s 4y agoHe's still got a point. there is no scenario where apple needs the money they get from app store, so there has to be another explanation. I mean, no one will convince me that a company with 366 billion in revenue is dependent on 12 billion in revenue from app store. There is something we're not being told here. Because the reasons all these commenters are throwing out make zero sense.

Part of my point is that there doesn't have to be any 'need' for additional revenue beyond the revenue itself. It also seems like you may be assuming that the person or people responsible for this and other similar decisions are incentivized to consider all of Apple's revenue as opposed to a specific subset of it, which I suspect is unlikely.
