Apple also gives a full suite of developer tools, documentation, example code. Built in debugging, testing, simulation.

If you have a design/image creation software and XCode you could make almost any app.

Patreon doesn’t give any tools to creators to directly create.

I'm actually just thinking about content. Part of our business is podcasts and selling premium subscriptions incurs a 30% take and all you get is some consideration in placement in Apple Podcasts. And you lose direct access to your customers.

Aye, that just further reinforces my last paragraph.

...that I can use for free to build a Mac app that won't run without security warnings, or to test in a simulator -- otherwise I have to pay $100/yr. The 30% tax brings no value.
