#1 #2 state the same thing, and although it may be true, I can't think of any way this makes the payment system "far superior". Is Amazon something you only use once and it's a hassle to have to enter in your credit card?

#3 is not something anyone believes, even you.

I'd counter with iTunes hysterically bad receipt notifications. Typically you get a receipt between 3 days to 2 weeks after you buy something. Every time I receive an iTunes receipt I have to strain to remember way back when I bought the thing the receipt is for.

iTunes is a horrible store front, so I had to vote you up. Maybe it was acceptable for what was available when it launched but it's coming up on 10 years later and basic features that would aid discovery are still missing.
