So your suggestion is to make it uneconomical to be a competitor in this market? sure, that'll help

So you think Apple will go broke if they have to compete with sideloaded apps?

Keep in mind, we already pay them for dev tools each year, just like how we pay Microsof for visual studio.

What makes you competent to decide what someone else charges for their work? Unless it is your work, you get no say in how much it costs.

Ummm…might want to tell that to Apple. Check the guidelines.

If us devs were smart, we’d organize and have our apps go on a maintenance break until Apple and Google remember what a computing and platform is without 3rd party devs.

You’re already seeing that with car and headset though.
