“Everyone else does it” is an interesting defense.
Personally I don’t think they charge too much, but i still dream of a world where you can sideload apps on iOS with 0 fuss.
I think the bigger argument against the App Store isn’t about the cut Apple takes but the process. The human review process is nice because it helps control the amount of abject garbage on the App Store compared to the Play Store but Apple plays fast and loose with letting certain apps/companies use Private APIs that they’re not supposed to.
Unequal enforcement of their policies is a bigger argument for abuse of their monopoly position than that it’s too expensive.
I assume that they know very little of the arguments against it is centered around the 30% cut but this is a bit strange to see.
