Your comment puts it very succinctly. They don't care about your gaming experience on Mac. They care about money. I wish they weren't so short sighted here.

I wish they weren't so short sighted here. They can't see through the trees that maybe they won't make money selling games through the app store, but they would make money selling more Macs.
- rched 2y agoSeems like the opposite is true. If their primary motivation was more App Store sales why not allow GPTK games only through the App Store?
- MBCook 2y agoThey didn’t really care about it before the Mac App Store either. The OS and its libraries just aren’t designed for high performance gaming the way MS has put time into that on Windows. They have Metal, which is supposed to be nice. But that’s their Direct3D. Where is all the other DirectX equivalent? From what I’ve heard anecdotally that seems to be a big part of the problem. It’s not just that they don’t have Vulcan (which I think is a red herring). Or the GPUs were abysmal (they were on most models before Apple Silicon). There’s no whole-picture. Just pieces.
