It is the number one complaint due to the 15-30% cut they take, but even now, entities such as Amazon, Uber and others dealing in real life goods don't have to use Apple's system. It is not customer centric, it is profit centric.
> For users, ideally Apple would relax nothing for a side-loaded app, and would maintain a stringent review process for whose certs can authorize apps, and a zero strikes policy for revoking such certs. Unfortunately, some of these will be relaxed.
Could Microsoft release an Xcloud client under these rules? Torrent apps? Emulators? These are all perfectly legal and some of these don't even require payments. Could apple still collect the 100$ per year from these devs?
