Thanks Apple, for "letting" me accept payment outside the App Store. Thanks for not watching the streets and not intervening when somebody tries to pay me.

All jokes aside, the wording is wrong. Apple does not "let me". I do. And Apple indeed doesn't stop me.

In one sentence Apple not only 'backs down', but presents itself as the one who 'lets you'. Well, thanks Apple. :')

If I have a web app allowing people to register and pay a recurring fee. Can Apple require that people using the iOS version app pay the subscription through the web store and then pay the Apple tax ?

No, this has never been the case. For example, you can buy a subscription to the Downdog app through thir website where it's SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than via their iOS app. After this, you can continue using their iOS app as a fully paid subscriber just fine.

Thanx. Good news

To be honest, I have no clue. When they have physical control, they can block whatever they want. When you enter an agreement with them, they can legally force things. What they can not do - however - is act like they are the ones making the law, and saying stuff like they "let" you and me. They are not gods and their only prophet was a Cluster B disordered hippy who is now dead.
