This has absolutely nothing to do with Spotify’s bad business model. Spotify hasn’t allowed in app purchases for almost a decade

Amazon doesn’t wield much power at all in the grocery industry or the movie streaming industry.

Because Apple and Google are abusing their power to tax all modern digital businesses.

Apple doesn’t “tax” Spotify. Spotify doesn’t allow in app purchasing, neither does Netflix. Apple is not getting 30% from Spotify
