> How many of the apps you're complaining about are paying 30% to Apple? Hotels and restaurants definitely aren't.

If the CEOs could sign a petition that had a sure chance of antitrust action against Apple's fees, every single one of them would be itching to sign.

Maybe s/he doesn't want to waste their time doing that and instead the company is politely signaling to their users that they're being charged junk fees by continuing to use the iOS app. Which is quite fair and transparent behaviour. Why take on Apple when you can correctly inform your users and push them to give Apple the boot?

In the EU that's what they are doing. In the US, Apple will lock your account for snitching about the Apple tax to your users. See the Epic lawsuit.
