It's like everything about ads and tracking: your business model is not my problem. Some businesses are just unviable. Compete or die.

Come on... It's not so simple

It's funny I see this comment all the time on HN, but in a very similar scenario recently, where DHH launched Hey app and was stonewalled by Apple, I didn't see a single comment saying "hey just go build your own app store". Telling someone to "just go build your own" is lazy and weightless.

"Just build your own web host" is feasible, but "just build your own app store" is not because it requires replacing half of your users' mobile phones.

No, it's not. Because eventually you get censored by domain registrars themselves. Not to mention DDoS mitigation providers, payment providers, browsers etc.

I didn't find the subject interesting but I'll complete the request for consistency here: it doesn't bother me that Apple requires Hey to use in-app purchases.
