Just now there’s also an ongoing coverage about scammy Wordle clones that currently haunt the App Store. Their whole protect the customer narrative is a sham when it comes to the App Store. I think the only upside are easily cancellable subscriptions, which, if you think about it, is actually a problem that is a result of their push for the subscription model and should be solved by regulation: mandatory reminders for subscriptions and easy cancellation. There, problem solved for all platforms not just Apple’s.


> Their whole protect the customer narrative is a sham when it comes to the App Store

It's about protecting Apple's ~80% profit margins on the App Store[1], not protecting customers.
