As a business owner. The principle policy I despise in this is that Apple won't let me charge iOS users differently than other users.

If I could just mark up the iOS version to cover the additional fee, I would find it much less onerous. You like the walled garden? You are welcome to pay for it.

I also find Amazon's similar policy equally disturbing. I don't think players in such powerful positions should be able to dictate pricing in such a manner.

Sure you can, but you’re not allowed to mention that it’s cheaper if you buy it elsewhere.
