Yes, and in Apple's awesome new pricing model, "free" is no longer a price you can choose as a developer because you owe an install fee per install/update no matter what, unless they generously decide to exempt you from it. You can choose any price you want as long as it's Expensive. The end result is more gamification, more exploitative monetization, more dark patterns, and more gambling games.

This is false. Free is still a price. As a developer, you can keep the current terms. You do not need to go to a 3rd party App Store and pay the CTF.
