>Will they also request their share if I transfer some money from my bank account via app? Buy a new sofa? A share from airbnb if I rent a spare room?
Honestly, why not? I mean if the justification for app store apps handing over a cut currently is "Apple provides the infrastructure and frameworks your app relies on" well that same infrastructure is used when I order a pizza in Uber Eats, when I book an AirBnb, when I do a bank transfer. Why does Apple only get a cut of someone those and not others.
Not defending it more pointing out the argument doesn't hold up when it applies to some but not all transactions.
Well, I was serious in my argument. It is a somewhat realistic next step in my point of view but I consider it absurd, hence the next sentence that we move slowly to a world entirely managed by smartphones and apple honestly just can't get 30% slice of everything just because it's a transaction on an app.
Where is the point where monopolies extract too much value? We have broken up companies before because they treated other unfair and it can be done again if they escalate beyond reason.
Think we're in agreement might have worded my post poorly, on a long enough timeline having to pay Apple a 30% cut of your holiday rental of pizza as absurd as it sounds to some people today just sounds like the logical conclusion when we already pay them 30% of say an videogame item or app subscription.
