How about just having lower fees on the app store and its in app purchases to not incentivize people to flee from it like it's the plague? That's what itch.io and Valve are doing and it sure seems to be working fine.

I'm honestly baffled by this community and it makes me feel like if the MS IE antitrust case happened today, most of this thread's commenters would side with Microsoft or just be paid to say so.

this like saying all car models need to legally be made in all three versions or it can't be made at all.

Yes, that is the point, software switches are easily added whereas transmission systems less so. The EU is forcing more social and commercial innovation into Apple than the whole 3 past years' worth of work from their own departmens.

yeah lower fees would also 100% be a simple solution here too. When it was innovative and the only legit app store on the market, site maybe it was easier to get away with, but nowadays that lead has closed so it's pretty wild they still take 30%
