This take doesn’t survive scrutiny. The real money from the App Store comes from play to win games. The reason those make so much money is because of the direct link to in app purchases and “whales” spending money on meaningless coins and loot boxes.
This came out in the Epic Trial. Those people are much less likely to put a credit card on any random site.
Candy Crush games could already be done on the web on mobile - it wouldn’t be nearly as monetizable

- madeofpalk 3y agoI would imagine Apple Pay is used significantly less than iTunes/App Store billing. Apple Pay is only in certain counties, with supported banks/cards. iTunes/App Store supports a plethora of payment options across the world, as well as Apple Pay.
