Well, yeah. It would have shown that their commissions are nothing but rent-seeking.

  Exactly my point! This would kick the wasp's nest of "they (Apple) don't need this much money to operate, they can do well with 10% profit!" Which is very hard to admit, that profit margins are arbitrary when you, indeed, dominate the market. Apple doesn't want (nor need) to give anyone a handle to anyone to make them accountable. It is not a charity. (Again, I'm not defending Apple, but I do defend corporate liberties, in general.)

    Are you defending their corporate liberty to withhold information or to lie about the information being withheld?

    When a company builds the moat too high (i.e. restrictions on external sub signups) it becomes monopolistic. Apple is honestly worse than Microsoft in so many ways as far as restrictions (nowadays, anyway) and yet it's taken this long even to get here. (To be clear, I am not a fan of Google's actions in the mobile space either...)
