> It's interesting that the existence of this supposed niche is entirely contained within the larger group of people who are kept unaware of the choice being made. I doubt a significant portion of this niche is “being kept unaware” that Patreon has a website. They probably would simply never, ever find themselves on Patreon’s website. This is basically the polar opposite of myself, who has used Patreon for many years but have never remotely considered using their smartphone app. Different people are different. > I guess readers can decide for themselves whether a store banning telling consumers about an alternative payment method is the same thing as memory protection. The question isn’t whether they’re “the same.” A better question to ask is how satisfied are Apple’s users compared to users of other competing products, and what can that be attributed to? |

If this was true then Apple wouldn't have provisions against informing them.
People keep on saying that this is some informed choice. It's not. If it was an informed choice, Apple would not have a policy against informing them.

We don't know how satisfied they are compared to others, because Apple has a policy against informing them about competing products.
This is an apple-to-oranges comparison. If your grocery store charges you $10 for a loaf of bread and the store down the street charges $5 and you don't realize that you could get the bread for $5, then you'd probably be satisfied with your purchase.
It doesn't mean you're not being exploited.
