I might buy into that theory if they didn't have Apple Pay in the browser.

You mean the feature that lets them take a cut of every transaction that goes through it?

Yes, the feature that massively reduces friction for paying for things on the web for which Apple collects about 1/200th the fee that they do when you buy in their store.

If you are a web app developer who wants users to pay you, Apple Pay is awesome in that it takes away a lot of friction.
