Such a weird take, complaining that a trillion dollar company might no longer be your personal guardian who gets to decide what you are allowed access to.

All you want is Apple to continue fucking over the people who build the software just so you aren't slightly inconvenienced. Bravo.

I would not call dark patterns that many developers take as a "slight inconvenience".

I agree with some of the restrictions on what is allowed on the App Store, like porn and browsers. But that is a different topic than having other app stores.

My concern here is billing, we know that developers will abuse this. They have done it and I have personally been in many meetings about user retention when they try to cancel.
