> If Apple’s 30% is garbage, so is Google’s and every console makers.

I agree. We have to hold Apple accountable first though, because they're abusing it hardest.

> Do you support Android? Have you bought any game consoles.

I do support Android, through F-Droid, and while my app wouldn't benefit from existing on a console I've sideloaded several apps to my Xbox One without any problem. I played through Castlevania last week and it ran flawlessly, so it's mostly Sony and Nintendo who are holdouts at this point (and I say that as someone with a hacked Switch).

> Are you really unaware of all of the malware that is on computers because of no sandboxing?

I'm fully aware. I just don't think it matters when the iPhone has much more malicious attack vectors, like zero-click iMessage exploits that cut straight through BlastDoor like it didn't exist. Maybe once Apple fixes their more egregious security vulnerabilities and embraces transparency they'd have an argument: but right now it's a poorly-disguised and obvious excuse for lock-in.

So Apple is “abusing the hardest” even though to develop a first class console game you have to pay much more to develop on it up front than $99 and you have to pay a license fee for each game sold either physical or digital? All of the console makers make it much harder to develop than Apple or Android - yet you bought an XBox One from Microsoft.

In the eyes of the Supreme Court, games consoles are not general-purpose computers. Even if they were, Apple still drives wider margins than any of these console manufacturers do. The cost to manufacture an iPhone is about 40% it's retail price. The cost to manufacture a game console is ~90-105% it's MSRP. Without the ability to drive hardware margins, they stand a lot better chance in court than Apple does.

There already had been a court case. Epic vs Apple. Epic lost on every point showing Apple to be a “monopoly”.

But it wasn’t about court. It’s about you selectively choosing who to have moral outrage against. So Apple makes too much money as the most valuable company in the world. But Microsoft and Google are the good guys even though they are also making obscene profits and are worth a trillion+ dollars?
