> How long are we going to let the Google Play store tax continue?
Alternative: Offer your app for download as an APK, or on alternative 3rd party app stores.
> How about the Uber and Lyft and <insert other driver/delivery service> 30% tax continue?
Alternative: Become an actual taxi driver / ask [location] if they want to hire delivery/(keyword: catering) drivers
> How long are we going to let Amazon take 30-40% of sales on their platform from manufacturers / merchants?
Alternative: Don't sell on Amazon, people have alternative shopping options.
> How long are we going to let Walmart take upwards of 50% in some cases?
Alternative: Don't sell in Walmart stores, people have alternative shopping options.
> Sure, Apple be damned, but can we stop pretending like they are unusual here?
Notice that each and every option you list out has alternative options for the person selling/conducting business through the platform that doesn't cut off their access to ~half of consumers in the US. What is the alternative for Apple?
