Would be better to just mandate a maximum % commission chargeable on the platform. 10% seems reasonable.

The other issue is that Apple locks features and doesn't allow others to use. NFC is locked to Apple Pay, browsers are all Safari Webkit, ultra wideband can only use the Find My network.

Also arbitrarily blocking of (competitor) apps like disallowing Xbox Game Streaming.
