It works precisely because there is an alternative with less onerous rules. It works even better because the alternative provider is BY FAR the larger player.

Why do you think Apply reduced their fees for small developers and now allow developers to let their customers know that cheaper payment options are available, they know they are abusing that position so to stave off regulations they did that.
