Apple has designed an illegal system, and the DOJ is going to break them up or force them to open wide. The hoops they make people jump through are ridiculous and entirely unfair. They've made people bark like a seal for far too long.

Whether true or not, this is irrelevant to the thread.

But worth pointing out that almost all storefronts control what they allow vendors to write there.

There is nothing illegal about this, and if this is making people bark like a seal, all retailers and all app stores do it.

Exactly. Walmart very well could tell their suppliers "You can't put a paper within the box saying that the price is $5 more since our logistics software misplayed your deliveries for a whole month" even if it's true.
