The walled garden might be a security measure, sure, and I am grateful for that, but seriously? Requiring people to spend their money *through* the walled garden only? FTS.

Curating code is one thing, forcing every single entity that plays your systems to pay you a slice of the pie just for having the daring gall of working on your systems is something else entirely.

Quite. That's heading for squeezing your nuts while you're down territory!

Nahhhhh, take Apple down, or, at the very least, break this deadlock of "you must use Apple's payment system" and let people handle their payments through any way they see fit. If Apple doesn't like it, force them to trim their cut down to... oh.... merchant fee territory? 5%? 4%? 3%?
