Surprisingly the GP didn't include price of the device as a reason, but the 30% Apple cut/likely uplift in price that developers need to charge to recuperate development costs - which are far more significant than developer hardware costs.

A non-Apple device without the moat would be better. GP also didn't ask for free apps.

Yes that must be why there is a thriving profitable market for apps on Android that don’t go through the Play Store.

Almost every non game app on the iPhone/iPad of note require a subscription and most outside of the App Store.
