Interesting:
"While Apple does waive the CTF for the first million installs of an app, this does not apply to app marketplaces themselves. This means every download of AltStore costs us €0.50, period. This is clearly unsustainable for a free app supported entirely by donations — especially considering we already have millions of users — and we’ve seen a lot of discussion hypothesizing how we could possibly afford this.
To us though, the answer is obvious…we can’t! So instead, we’re going to charge €1.50/year for AltStore PAL and pass the CTF onto our users."
So Apple's rules either require a deep pocketed free to play peddler like Epic, or push small independent stores into subscriptions.
This is still malicious compliance.
Not to mention that I never wanted "alternative stores" but sideloading... why would I have any store control what I install?
