Miguel de Icaza ᯅ🍉The issue is that these developers wanted one thing (lower fees), but lobbied for “freedom of stores” and “external payment systems”
They got what they asked for, which is not what they wanted.

@Migueldeicaza that also assumes that Apple is complying in good faith — it's more that they're trying to maintain their rents while appearing to comply.
@cory it would be negligent of them to not ensure they were in compliance with the law.
@Migueldeicaza well sure, but do they levy these same fees on macOS? And what's so untenable about the macOS security/app install model that it can't be applied to iOS? It's complying with the letter but not the spirit of the law.
@cory it’s a business model choice. Presumably these choices optimize for a set of goals. And these are not uniform across their offerings.
@Migueldeicaza I suppose, but it invites regulatory scrutiny and the users lose out.
