There is an existence proof that that isn’t the case. Spotify, Netflix, Sling, and DirecTVNow are all in the App Store and none of them allow subscriptions from within the App Store.

That is simply proof of selective enforcement. your examples have HUGE preexisting User Base, should apple ban them it would have a real effect on Apple Adoption rates

They are big enough to make apple bow, other apps are not like that

So I guess Linux Academy is also big enough to make “Apple Bow” since you have to subscribe outside of the store?

There isn’t a requirement to make subscriptions only available in the store.
