I'm sorry, is your point that "Music streaming service" is not a market? Apple allows signups via every way one could access the application - mobile, web, and desktop. Tidal then has a choice: they can have the same advantage as Apple (a smooth flow with signup prompts available everywhere), or they can have the same pricing model as Apple (by not paying the 30% App Store cut). Tidal cannot have both.
How is this not Apple using their market dominance in app distribution (either due to OS dominance or Apple's exclusive app distribution channel, take your pick) to gain an advantage in the Music Streaming marketplace?
