I think that the race to the bottom that ended with the domination of the F2P model is not entirely because of Apple, but they contributed by not doing anything against it.

And they were one of the very few companies that could have done something.

They saw it happening and they chose to not intervene.

What intervention would have helped?

Instead of applying a 30% fee, a fixed $2 + 5% would have completely changed the market.

Seems like a conspiracy to raise the price of apps to me.

And a clear violation of anti-trust law.
