I can understand that position in this case but really the idea of passing the cost along to provide a high quality experience seems nice. Like imagine a third party YouTube client where you pay the UI developer to make a UI that doesn't urinate in your breakfast cereal. You get a better experience and they show you the YouTube catalog. Now imagine the same app has access to HBO and Disney and Netflix. I could see paying a premium for that because it separates the platform's incentives from the UI incentives, which removes the dark pattern incentives like promoting the platform's own content.
