im not certain i understand your point ... to clarify, i am drawing a parallel between the app store and say the phone company which started as the wild west with all kinds of separate companies and then as it became clear that it was a fundamental utility in universal use, it began to be regulated ... the app store is similar in that it now a universal system along with android and is used as a fundamental structure of daily life especially for communication and thus i think we will rightly see calls for regulation and fairness, products can differentiate themselves but the platform should be fairAll games have to be passed by Sony and are physically mastered at Sony licenced factories. You can’t make a Game for PlayStation without Sony’s approval or without paying Sony. Same with Microsoft and Nintendo, btw. And it costs more than 30% to sell games through 3rd party stores.

Only for those using iOS, who make up the minority of mobile device users. Spotify is the market leader by a massive margin, so their complaints should rightfully fall on deaf ears. If you want an even playing field then Apple should be able to sell songs and albums through Spotify for free.
