Apple provides the OS and SDKs developers need to make their app function at all.

Users do not care how much it costs a developer. They want it to be easy to see and cancel subscriptions all in one place. The web’s myriad of payment systems is the opposite of a good user experience, meant to only fatten the pockets of developers by making it difficult to cancel.



> Users do not care how much it costs a developer.

This is a ludicrous statement. The users are the ones paying for it.


That 15-30% going to Apple isn’t going to go back to app users. Don’t pretend this is all about developers wanting to give users a discount.


It actually is, there are plenty of services where you can pay 30% less if you go through their site instead of Apple's app store.


Do you believe businesses don’t take their margins into account when pricing their products?
