Chase can eat my ass. They bought WaMu and then charged me to use my own debit card.
Now every bank does it, but good lord I hate that bank. Chase is what you do to them, away.

No, the DMA cannot stop a FRAND
It’s gonna be a Safari browser based app charging $9.99 a month to essentially load their website inside the app. Notice how those aren’t in the App Store? Apple banned that practice.
Also lots of porn.
And the third party app stores have to survive, so they’ll charge a 30% revenue cut, the same as Apple. Competition doesn’t mean bills don’t suddenly disappear, and salaries don’t magically pay themselves.
And to top it all off, the third party app stores will need Apple’s signature on the certificate of the third party App Store app, which Apple will charge a yearly fee based on revenue.

Law of diminishing returns. You can only innovate so much as the generations proceed further.
Oligopoly: An oligopoly (from Ancient Greek ὀλίγος (olígos) 'few', and πωλέω (pōléō) 'to sell') is a market in which control over an industry lies in the hands of a few large sellers who own a dominant share of the market. Oligopolistic markets have homogenous products, few market participants, and inelastic demand for the products in those industries.[1] As a result of their significant market power, firms in oligopolistic markets can influence prices through manipulating the supply function. Firms in an oligopoly are also mutually interdependent, as any action by one firm is expected to affect other firms in the market and evoke a reaction or consequential action.[1] As a result, firms in oligopolistic markets often resort to collusion as means of maximising profits.
