I'm inclined to agree with you. Apple's terms aren't exactly new. While I don't like Apple's App Store model, Hey had to know what it was getting into. This is an uphill fight that even Amazon ultimately ended up capitulating to.

Amazon does not pay the apple fee for physical goods in the app version of their store, and it sounds like they have a special deal with apple for the video app: https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/3/21206400/apple-tax-amazon-...

E-commerce apps have always been allowed, but the video app did not allow purchasing on iOS at all (if I recall they even blocked it in mobile Safari) until very recently. But my point was this isn't exactly a new policy for Apple, and if you're building an app in 2020, it's just how the model works. Hail laissez-faire capitalism.
