"Stop buying Apple if you don't like it"

I'm afraid this is not an option most app devs can even entertain



Don’t buy Apple to consume as a user if you don’t like it.

If you’re an app developer then pay by the rules…

It absolutely is an option.


I guess it's technically an option to go out of business by removing your app from the Apple App Store.


if your business is that fragile, maybe you should change your business.


That statement practically applies to every internet business. What would happen if they all left the App Store?

What would happen if Roblox, Spotify, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Tinder, TikTok, etc. pulled their apps from Apple's platform?

I imagine they'd all take a grave hit to revenue but Apple users would be furious.


>"If your business is that fragile, maybe you should change your business. "

Alternatively, if that other business is that strong, maybe we should regulate their anti-competitive practices.


You can't make your end-users switch off Apple...
