My absolutely thermonuclear, get-canceled take
is that Apple deserves a cut of third party App Store developer revenues
Reasonable people can disagree on how much, and Apple HAS harmed itself through greed
But distribution infrastructure has value. Creating and maintaining runtimes has value. Building developer tools has value. Calling it “payment processing” totally misses the mark on what they built
There has never been a universe where you got distribution for your product for free.
