I think the other thing that sticks out is the prohibition for developer to charge different price in and out of the app store (seems to be somewhat relaxed, for example expressVPN, or maybe the trick is to not offer the exact same bundle?)

Yeah, but what about app store revenue? I think there the proportion is inverted: in 2018 it was supposedly 48B vs 24B in favor of Apple. https://www.businessofapps.com/data/app-revenues/

Reminds me of the Feltron report[1], in the self-quantization realm. The person did it for 10 years and stopped in 2014. The accent was put on the visualization. http://feltron.com/FAR14.html

Wasn’t there a $1 test being proposed? You can start by testing people with high temperature at the entrance of buildings and metro. Still cheaper that closing schools and all the rest of the economy.
