I'm generally for more tech regulation, but I don't want to see Apple's position of power degraded. What may be needed is regulations to limit Apple's take, because 30% of a $2 app is fine in my eyes, but 30% of an app that goes for $50 is a bit much. To me it's the amount of work involved. Apple does more work for more complex apps, but it doesn't really scale with the investment involved.

I really don't want to go back to the days where I have to enter my credit card in some stupid payment form instead of just authenticating with face id.

Apple is a giant 2 trillion dollar company, one of the richest in the world. I think they can recover from allowing other companies in this world to compete with them on equal footing.

The can add 30% on top of the cost so the user can decide for themselves.
