I 100% agree. I think if Apple was consistent across all apps (i.e. they allow users to subscribe outside of their ecosystem with no restriction, but only charged 30% if purchased through ecosystem) nobody would be complaining about the 30% at all. The major issue is that a smaller app is being penalized for not having the clout that someone like Netflix has and being able to bypass the rule.
