The most egregious behaviour is simply denying consumers the information they need to not pay ridiculous, even recurring, fees to Apple to use someone else's service. Fees they may have coerced the app developer into implementing, like Patreon, whilst simultaneously illegally depriving them of any alternative billing methods. Fees they testified are for doing nothing. Fees they testified carry 75% profit margin.

Yeah it completely slipped my mind, it's brutal and entirely inappropriate that they can force their recurring fees like that.
I don't know if developers are still not allowed to advertise alternative payment methods, but it's just one step too far.
