By "it" I meant the original article. I assume this misunderstanding is why this response was downvoted :|

There's no misunderstanding - you just went on a tangent. It's not a matter of knowing the App Store but of interpreting the law.

[arielm]

The law is there to protect consumers. How does this protect consumers?

If you enable lower quality apps and increased competition?

[sangnoir]

You are conflating terms: in this narrow case, the 'consumers' are app developers.
