Let’s say the music business demands $8 per month per user for licensing fee. Apple can sell their music service for $9.99 and get some nice profits. Spotify cannot sell at $9.99 with an in app purchase as the remaining money doesn’t cover the license costs.

This is the very reason Spotify charges more (if they even allow it anymore) when purchased as an iap.

Apple likely has not stomped down on it because that one would be rather clear cut case for courts.

And that’s fine. Companies don’t need to charge the same prices or have the same profit margins.

Should AWS have to sell at cost because Amazon uses it for a cheaper price than other retail websites?
