Is Apple benefiting from selling in the EU? If they want to benefit from Europe, they got to obey the rules.

Side note: Please stop using EU and Europe interchangeably, they are not the same thing. 100s of millions of people live on the continent of Europe, but not in the EU.

I'll do that when US people stop using America and Americans to describe themselves.

Why? That's hardly the fault of, say, the Swiss.

I don't disagree with you, but you couldn't really have picked a worst example (short of an an actual EU member country) given how their bilateral treaties with the EU means EU rules apply to do business in non-EU Switzerland.

That applies to EEA members too.

Yes, disenfranchising hundreds of millions of people on the European continent sure gets those Americans

I agree completely, but for now they are following the rules. I’ll be happy to see the EU ban percentage based fees and make all platforms open.

Is not about the percentage, are you aware that you can't even mention you can buy a subscription from the website in the iOS application? Apple does not allow alternative app stores and is actively blocking you to inform of alternative methods of payment.

Yeah I’m aware of those things. The EU should ban those things as well. Like I mentioned I’d like to see no percentage fees and all platforms open.
If they are benefiting, then is it unacceptable for them to pay for the benefit?
