If I can buy groceries, flights, concert tickets, and random Amazon items without paying an in-app fee, why I can't I buy game content?
If I can buy in-app content in an iOS browser, why can't I buy it inside the app? (Because some app makers have decided they would rather make it unavailable inside an app than pay the Apple tax.)
This is fundamentally consumer-hostile behaviour.
Of course Apple will argue it has to vet apps and in-app content.
And then all a lawyer has to do is point to the various exploits and it's game over for that argument.
