That’s still only 0.034% of its market cap, it would simply be a slap on the wrist even if they lose.

    What’s not true? It is absolutely true that the majority of apps on the App Store don’t pay (or at least pay very little). And it’s true that the ones that do pay are paying billions of dollars.

    Antitrust law is all about ensuring competitors are on equal footing with each other. Apple’s walled garden makes equal footing impossible. Is it illegal? I don’t know. But I think it should be and I hope the laws are adjusted if necessary to make it illegal.

    Fair competition is critical for a functioning economy. It’s fundamentally unfair that a select few app developers are forced to collectively pay billions of dollars in fees that nobody else has to pay.

      Holy fuck another 3 paragraph essay. Maybe the part I fucking quoted

      Trying again

      forcing them to pay a extraordinarily more than what most of their competitors are paying.

      You literally ignore every counterpoint and then inundate your responses with content that doesn’t apply. Try again.

      More words != compelling argument or facts
