I would rather pay less for Ubers than have Apple’s protections. I would rather pay less for Uber and have Apple’s protections.

Apple will still offer Uber, but they will take a smaller cut. Uber will still be available on the App Store because it is the most common App Store.

Apple doesn't offer Uber. Uber offers Uber. Uber offers it through the App Store because that's their only option. And even if the only thing that happens is that Apple takes a smaller percentage, that doesn't impact me at all. I'd still pay the same.

So, in your best case, we have a scenario that is neutral for me. Excuse me for not being thrilled by that.

It impacts you in the form of lower prices.

Uber is going to collect the difference, not the customer.

Seems unlikely. Uber is facing significant price pressure.
