I didn't read anywhere where the ACM suggests an extra-territorial solution, only that it was not adequate. Perhaps lowering that 27% fee could be the ticket, since it Apple's last action appears obstinate/playing number games.

The decision has absolutely nothing to do with the fee, but apple having to allow other payment providers.

This decision is about the fee Apple proposed when using other payment providers (27%. Add 2-3% for payment processor and you're back at 30%). Unsurprisingly, this arrangement was found wanting.
