Yeah, Apple only looks pro-Consumer because they're still in the business of selling software, hardware, and software services to consumers. Their competition is all funded by corporate advertising.

It's not a matter of Apple being a positive force for consumers or customers. They're simply the most magnanimous blackguard.

Apple's 30% cut is only from purchases and not from ads so it pushes all the apps you get on that platform towards ads. So even they themselves doesn't get a lot of money from ads, their policy greatly encourages ad based monetization.

By that logic literally everything is based on advertising. That makes the argument meaningless rather than convincing.
