What's next, apple remotely reduces performance and says to fix that you have to buy a new apple device and you're gonna be the first to do it, right?

And on a side note, you joke of an admin open your blind eyes and stop deleting my comment like lol you're acting worse than a child ffs

Nah, profits are better...

    Competition help negating some of those bad practices, like abusing commissions and other.
    Also if there is enough competition, a big diversity could cause the same thing that happened to consoles, who originally required devs to make game specifically for the consoles, and now it is basically the same as making PC games, allowing easy port, making a single game and cross-platform online compatibility.
    Maybe if more stores get released, it could force things to get more compatible between each other, for Google and Apple it is opening the door to competition, but it is also making sure that potential creators won't flee away to cheap platforms, mainly if those platforms unite by themselves to make those cross-compatibility...
    And since Android basically, from what I know run a virtual machine per app, making compatibility to other ecosystems wouldn't be an issue !
    Well, it would required a combined effort of everyone to make this happen and everyone would need to re-learn how to make apps as it would have some big changes, (though old apps would still run), but imagine if this lead to Apple and Android apps being able to run on each other OS, would be awesome !

                Hope you get it

                  Should I care about this if I only use the APKPure app?

Don't rent a place. Buy a plot or find a slot. Don't want to pay the 30% processing fee? Don't use the Playstore and the Appstore. Launch your own website and host your apps their. Let's see how far that gets you even as you rake in the full 100%. With your 'eyes wide woke', you could apply for an MCU audition. Though Disney too is in the rent business, besides being in the theft and ripping off business.

                      Epic is no different from any greedy opportunist cooperation out there.

                              If not, I have to tell you that, with renting, you only pay a fixed amount of money according to your contract.

                              You will only only pay rent, NOT rent + 30% of your goods.

                              With store, you also have the option of accept payment in cash, credit/debit card, or mobile payment.

                              And with cash, you don't have to pay processing fee for anybody.

                              And that, my dear, is freedom of choice.

                              And freedom of choice is not what apple offers.

                              So, stop comparing apple's app store and physical stores.
                              They are totally different.

                                      They don't need anymore money - Not only do they not heavily invest in sustainability but neither do they donate to poor needy hungry people either!

                                      They can buy a few countries or more with all that cash and I can just keep going on because they're not using that money wisely!!!

                                      Please, open your eyes!
