What ? stores can’t have profit ? Why not sue Walmart or Target for this egregious practice then ?
I kinda understand that the Apple model of locking iPhones so only their store can exist is, if not ilegal, unethical and immoral, but on Android phones, you can sideload a different store or individual apps. IANAL, but this is the kind of meritless lawsuit that in my country would not only be thrown away but could also expose Tim to sanctions.
Before contrarians come in to say that 30% is too much for a digital store, I work with cloud services (mostly AWS and a bit of Azure), and let me tell you, that shit is EXPENSIVE. Especially bandwidth and storage, which is the two things digital stores use the most, that why I don’t think 30% is too much, it’s basically what they need to charge to cover costs and have some profit to keep investing on the service.
