Well if Apple falls behind developers might abandon it for steam who doesn’t impose such draconian limits.Nothing saves money for a developer like supporting multiple outlets...
How do you interpret it to be gone?Why would wealthier people prefer iOS? Perhaps because of the experience? Wealthier people tend to prefer curated experiences, so with that gone now, so why would you expect people to keep spending as much?
Will they be allowed to? I don't mean this rhetorically. Jobs specifically described the App Store as a way to make the app buying experience easier and more secure for buyers and sellers. Making it easier in the ways theydid is now illegal. What's the motivation to try again if the government is just going to findanother reason to cut them off at the knees?
They are completely legal to continue exactly as now, the only difference is developers can communicate with users freely outside the AppStore and provide better services without Apple as the mandatory middleman.
