Apple Music on Android requires its own payment details to avoid Google 30% cut

Apple makes eg: Google music use Apple pay in Apple ios store, taking 30% cut. Apple will kick out Google music from app store for not using Apple pay, giving Apple 30% cut.

Apple circumvents Google pay, and Google 30% cut in Android app store.

Apple thus admits by own action that Apple's enforcement of apple pay and 30% cut is fine for anyone to circumvent, because they do the equivalent thing themselves.

And they should not be allowed to kick anyone out of the ios app store for circumventing Apple pay?

Apologies if I misunderstood your question, but that was my takeaway from this thread?

This is so much nonsense. Apple circumvents Google pay pursuant to Google's policies. Apple has different policies in its own app store. So what? Those are not related facts.

If there is a case testing the enforcability/validity of the limits enforced by the app store, it might be?

I'm not certain if the app store model has been tested in court? As in - can you actually, legally build a walled garden?
