Once you’re in Apples ecosystem, some of the marketing, app development, and customer support is now handled by Apple. I also don’t see why you have earned access to Apple customers, anymore than you should have access to Alibaba or Walmart customers.

The argument should be why Apple customers should vote with their wallets to tell Apple to move one way or another.

no marketing unless you mean spending more on app store seo or whatever it is called

no app development unless you mean the non existent support and the willy-nilly api changes

no customer support unless you mean refunding subscription when the dev is not at fault.

I don't want access to apple's customers! I want my customers to be able to load my app on their devices.

IF Microsoft pulled such a move people would lose their minds
