Honestly... the Apple/Safari "pay with Apple Pay" flow is super excellent. I'm literally excited when a web storefront supports "pay with Apple wallet" because it's secure, account-free, and defaults all the shipping addresses, etc. it's extremely low-friction, IMHO.

...now, putting on my conspiracy hat... how difficult is it for n00b-company/developer to get a business license to accept credit card payments (and issue refunds/chargebacks) for SlotMaster9000, versus "I'm and app-store developer, Apple fronts the income-washing and chargeback hassles as a first-line defense.

Literally: what's the difference in setting up a Shopify thingy full of digital-content-tokens and running Apple Pay on it?

Remember that WebGL video-poker thing a few months ago? Wire that up to Apple Pay and what's the difference?

Apple Pay is not available in every country, there are more ways to pay through in app purchases than credit cards and parents aren’t going to put credit cards on kid’s phones.

Besides, many people don’t want to pay every random website and they trust Apple.
