Exactly, if a small company decides to charge more for their work, it's a risk they take, and their customers might just decide to go elsewhere. But if tomorrow Apple decides you owe them more, what are you going to do? Not stay on the Apple Store? I don't think so.

Actually many people do just fine without Apple.


Actually it’s insane to suggest Uber and Lyft could just abandon their iOS userbase.


It seems like that because there aren't many alternative beside iOS and android, and iOS market share is big.

However if many players decide to get out from Apple ecosystem, it'll be Apple that'll change stance here.


That’s a nice dream, but it’s highly unlikely individual companies that are already dominating a market would leave billions of dollars on the table to make a statement
