Those numbers came from Apple, lets pull them apart: >App Store stopped more than $1.5 billion in potentially fraudulent transactions in 2020 They never justify or source this, they literally just pulled it out of their ass. >Apps rejected for containing hidden or undocumented features A lot of those are probably development tools that users legitimately wanted. >Other rejected apps Good job they blocked some stupid obvious scams. The web is full of these so the users careless enough to fall for them will still get scammed. I don't see how that justifies the ridiculous situation they've created. >credit card numbers are never shared with merchant. The whole point behind credit cards is that you don't care if someone steals the number. Otherwise everyone would be using PKI instead of shouting an ID number at eachother. So yeah, thanks I guess for saving some banks money but that does little to help the end user. |

You do realize they have the data, right?
>Apps rejected for containing hidden or undocumented features A lot of those are probably development tools that users legitimately wanted.
You never justify or source this, you literally just … … I think you know how this goes.
>Other rejected apps > Good job they blocked some stupid obvious scams. The web is full of these so the users careless enough to fall for them will still get scammed.
No, people trust the App Store more than they trust the web. That’s the whole point.
> I don't see how that justifies the ridiculous situation they've created.
The situation where consumers are happy to pay for software because someone is weeding out scams?
>credit card numbers are never shared with merchant. The whole point behind credit cards is that you don't care if someone steals the number. Otherwise everyone would be using PKI instead of shouting an ID number at eachother. So yeah, thanks I guess for saving some banks money but that does little to help the end user.
I guess you’ve never had a card stolen or been the victim of fraud. Eventually you can get your money back in most cases, but it can take a long time and be a huge hassle.
Again you argue against beneficial protections for no apparent reason.
