Not only that, it’s dangerous too specially if you have a family account with a single credit card.

Apple doesn’t care about quality.

Yes. My wife’s mother keeps buying crap in game using my card and I have no reasonable way of blocking her from doing so if I want to keep app purchase sharing.

It’s insane. Does no one at apple have senile in laws? Or is this acceptable?

I’m sure Apple realizes how many senile in-laws can make them money.
I think you could convert her account to a child account. That way, you have to approve the purchases first.
Can you not just make her a separate account and make her put her own card on there?
> if I want to keep app purchase sharing.
That's fair, I must have missed that

Regardless, there has to be a breaking point. The value of sharing those will be exceeded by the microtransactions at some point
