“Ben is making it sound like Apple is a gangster company for being allowed to curate the App Store and charge a reasonable fee. Developers know the rules going in and shouldn’t enter the business if they don’t like it. They are not victims.
“ Apple says that app developers get plenty for what they pay, including tools and software kits that make their apps usable and better, free marketing in the app store and camps for entrepreneurs. Consumers get quality control and security assurances, it says.
“We carefully review each app and require developers to follow strict guidelines on privacy, design, and business models,” the company says on a website dedicated to explaining and defending the store’s practices.
Its review team covers 81 languages and since 2016 has removed more than 1.4 million apps that were out of date or not working, Apple says. “This helps unclutter the search for new apps, and makes it easier for users to find quality apps.””

“Ben Thompson and Jams Allworth speak with great focus on the topic on hand. They have the same caliber as of John Gruber, John Siracusa, Marco Arment, Horace Dediu, Dan Benjamin or Leo Leporte in examining tech trends.”
