*Filled with ads, trackers and sometimes straight up spyware or malware. But otherwise "free". People also think Google is free. No, you pay all of it and more in data they hoard on you and your habits and then use that to sell 3rd party ads to you.

Not pretending Apple doesn't do telemetry, but is largely optional and they do it just to know how to improve products and make you buy more of their products. Which at least in my book is a difference.

Ultimately, lower fee for startups makes sense. Not the other way around on Steam where startups get extra punished, where companies that are already mega corporations with cash to piss get a cut on the fee.

    I'm guessing Google would follow suit... Wonder if they'll stick to the $1m number.
