1. Devs will leave Apple because now they can sell products to consumers without Apple's rent? Without paying $99 or more for distributing their apps? Plus, you'd be naive if you think Apple's monopoly is destroyed overnight. Apple is the f**king developer of iOS. They can engineer anything to benefit App Store rather then third-party distributor. I imagine plenty of people will stick with Apple Music even when Spotify doesn't have 30% tax. Now that's real consumer choice and real competition.We can take this to the extreme, harming the ecosystem could cause devs to leave apple, causing a downward spiral and ruining the resale value (which causes me harm).
So this is not up to me to decide, and I've already voiced my views. However, I don't understand why people care so much about apples margins and app store fees. Nobody but a dev should care.
To me if people feel constricted there is android. But don't go into the ecosystem, knowing what the way it works and then determine it's an unfair monopoly. Start out on a different platform.
2. Devs pass on 30% tax to consumers. That's why monopoly eventually harms consumers. BTW Supreme Court has ruled that, although indirectly harmed by monopoly in this way, consumers can sue Apple (their argument is also the passing on of 30% tax).
3. Microsoft tried to force everyone to use IE. In the end they are forced to share proprietary interfaces with third-party developers. Ecosystems are anti-competitive and illegal.
