Perhaps people would rather take the side of the consumer instead of the multi-trillion-dollar global conglomerates?

Feel free to donate as much money as you want to them though.

The consumer wants everything for free. Get back to me when you're willing to work for free - I'd love to "hire" you! :)

Consumers already pay for the hardware which is why they're a trillion dollar company.

However there are other trillion-dollar companies that have free consumer services if that's really the issue (which it isn't). By the way, millions of apps are not monetized and therefore free to host so clearly there's not a critical cost associated with the app store but rather pure profit margin.

Simply allowing the install of additional app stores would solve all these issues and allow for more competitions and the free market to discover the real price of app store services.
