I suspect the reason why their is a delay is to give app developers time to implement the required changes so their application will work with iOS 14.5.Just focus on paying the app developers please.
Please release iOS 14.5 already please. Getting tired of waiting
Got a tip for us?

Tim Cook Says App Store Would Become a 'Flea Market' if Third-Party Payment Systems Were Allowed

Well I think Tim did that in his original statement don't you think?So now it’s racist to say you never know what you’re gonna get shopping at flea markets. Hahahaha. Jesus. Ironically, you characterized him comparing to a flea market as a lower standard.
many offer apps at a loss + they still pay for the apple hardware + development fee for the privilege of providing free apps.
We are talking about if Apple loses the court case and are forced by the courts to allow third-party app stores.
at least should be an option to easily run ones own code or compile something that’s outside of apples influence and rules and run it on my own device WITHOUT ME PAYING for a DEV account. If I out a company want our own stuff on the phone Apple should have no say in it and make no more money than what they make via the hardware sale.
people that don’t care about Apple checking each app should be allowed to compromise their own device, but that’s not what it’s all about. Apple wants more money.
Just imagine a fully fledged computer were like and you couldn’t sell software to someone without paying Apple. Secretly they’re already planning this. I’d they do that, They’ve lost me as s customer altogether.
If they don’t offer free Dev tools for private people and allow me to install stuff that goes against their , I’ll be gone soon anyways.

I'm well aware. Although they do pay $99 a year, I can't imagine any developer buying Apple hardware specifically to create a single free app. They do it to learn new skills, bolster their portfolio or just a little self gratification of getting a job done.
If Apple was not charging a signifiant fee for paid apps, it would not be sustainable for them to indefinitely host free apps on the store.
Disagree. An app is just sitting on a server. The costs for this are way lower than the fees Apple charges. It's a money making enterprise.
You do know you dev tools ARE free and you CAN deploy apps you build to your own device WITHOUT paying a developer account ?
That's because most of them mentally connect flea markets (sole based on its name - flea) with a place where people sell dirty garbage hardware full of bugs. They simply think just like the up-nosed greedy idiotic Tim Crook who took flea markets as negative reference for the digital CrookStore.
Ohh and usually there are plenty of iOS, macOS devices on flea markets, probably because of the buggy garbage hardware Apple keeps building up lately.
But in some peoples eyes, few stuff are garbage, in others they aren't.
Thats the cool thing of diversity and freedom.

Apple could just require that Apple Pay must be used for purchases, it wouldn’t have to go through their in app purchase platform
You see Tim Apple knows what Apple users don’t want. We don’t want to shop with the great unwashed.
I agree. I like to go to flea markets and look for antiques. However, I don't want to find App Store apps.
I’m not sure it would make much difference TBH.
If it was either a choice of putting your card details into another app or just using Apple Pay I’d take the Apple Pay route every time.

And I just take my card, why that mumbo jumbo?
Now imagine her doing this with a iPhone 12 Pro Max + COVID Mask + Wet fingers ... LOL
I still don't get it... Developers like Epic publish apps on Apple's appstore, make a ton of money, have to pay Apple a percentage of the money they make on sales... Isn't this how every other platform works? If I set up a shop on Amazon, don't I have to pay amazon a fee for each product I sell? Same with Ebay, or the Playstation store, or google play store, Microsoft, Walmart, Etsy? I get the argument that they may be charging too much (a tiered fee approach would be much more developer friendly), but I don't think it's unreasonable to charge a fee for distribution through the Appstore.
There's a little more to it than just "hosting a file on a server".
