People like me are too deep into the Apple ecosystem to ever reasonably leave. Until/unless they fully neuter macOS, I’m here for life. And I’ll realistically never use Android. But the next generation of users might use an iPhone, but they also rely on the web and services from other companies. They use Chromebooks. They don’t have a reason to “root” for Apple the same way I did as a kid. And that’s how platforms change and ecosystems fall off. https://mastodon.social/@film_girl/112955398796903001
@film_girl or you could simply not use in-app payments for your Patreon subscriptions.

Shouldn’t have to do so. There are a lot of smart people at Apple, they should be able to figure out they will do better by making sure the user has the best experience possible.
Allowing in app purchases without monetary pain and ease of use would sell more iPhones.
The user experience throughout the platform should be king.
