So allow for both Apple subscriptions and alternative mechanisms.

Most likely the non-Apple route would be cheaper to the consumer and get 90% of the traffic for that reason alone. If that's the reality, does that not imply that Apple's practices harm most consumers? Seems self evident to me that they do.

Besides, there really should be some common spec/mechanism to manage subscriptions from any vendor.




I think the point is if one time purchase is 30% but subscription is 10%

Then a one time purchase app just makes a lifetime subscription for the same price and cuts the fee from 30% to 10%.
