Nobody is being forced to subscribe to Spotify through the App Store. It's very easy to visit spotify.com and subscribe to Spotify Premium.

At a time when Windows had something like a 90% desktop OS market share. iOS never had more than 30% mobile market share.

100% of iPhone users use iOS doesn't matter what the total smartphone use percentage is. It was the same when railway Barron's started capturing the other markets when they owned the railways each railway barron owned their own track and people had alternate routes

And 100% of Spotify customers use Spotify. Should artists therefore be able to dictate their own terms to Spotify?
