Dude, you don't need to buy an iphone, you don't need to by an xbox, you don't need to buy a playstation - if you do though you will be using their stores / they will be getting a cut.

But when I buy Android I can side load app
If I buy Apple phone I can't sideload app. At all.
How ia this not a monopoly.
Also why you bring xbox into picture. It's a gaming console not a general purpose device ppl use 4+hrs in a day.
They can have their cut buthe issue that you're ignoring is that they don't allow side loading and that they can randomly kill any app they want. Like they have done in the past and small developers don't have the money Epic does
