As soon as developers have other options for distribution (that is cheaper), that’s what they will use. Look at Epic for an example. I used to play Fortnite with my kids on my iPad, but can’t anymore. So, my choices from the App Store will be more limited.
That’s both illustrative and damning. Developers will leave and consumers will be less protected. And I’m not really even thinking about malware, but dark patterns like uncancelable subscriptions or surprise in app purchases.
